I thought it would be less of a difference between propellers, like one tooth on the sprocket kind of thing, not like cruising the motorway in third or sixth ?
-
WOW, will the savings in fuel costs pay for the propellers in 2 or 3 years?
-
I had no idea you had to change propellers, @Bruce, is it the propeller itself or related to the shaft or diff?

TKC70, very nice and smooth for the road and rain, and can handle some light offroad if it’s not mud or sand

Perfecting my eggplant lasagna: No cooking, just a healthy lunch with some cheese for taste: Sofia's rib, spinach and dahl: Again, Sofia's amazing oven roasted aubergine and pepper dip, some cured ham, cherry tomatoes, and goat's cheese for lunch. An entree of cured black pig, some bread and local wine, simple flavours in my untamable garden My spicy onions and canned sardines dish with leftover dahl, a nice mix: Spaghetti and portobello mushrooms: Costa, watching me have some olives and white wine. Not looking too pleased but he had just finished his own dinner.

"... depois não te queixes que o arroz tem formigas" word by word translated to "then don't complain there are ants in your rice". You use it a situation where someone is talking like they are acting or going to act careless, and you reply that "ok, you can do that but then don't come back complaining about current circumstances"

Looks very nice, orange groves are always so green. That dog didn't enjoy the drone one bit!

Something about one of Yen´s stories from today's posts reminded me of this friend I have from college called Lobato, he is like a real life Seinfeld mixed with The Three Stooges and Indiana Jones. Amongst several stories, he was on the subway heading to visit the World Trade Center while it was being flown into and collapsing, very much to his surprise as he and another friend emerged from the subway to a big frenzy and a very dusty NYC, before being questioned by the FBI for a few hours. Now, the story I recall is usually told by another friend who was also involved and goes something like: When The Rolling Stones visited Portugal in 2006 they arrived in Lisbon's airport and had a gig in Porto, to take place in FCPorto's stadium. One of my college friends got the job of taking care of the band, involving picking them up in Lisbon and bringing them up north in vans, including all their personal stuff and gear, get food or "other stuff" they needed and basically keep them happy. Now Lobato was in charge of driving one of the vans and fetching random stuff, which he did for a few days using his contacts in Porto. Prior to the first concert, he was just sitting down having a sandwich mid afternoon and this random older dude sits by him also having a snack and they strike a conversation that eventually goes like: "so, do you enjoy the Stones?" to which Lobato answers "not really, they are very impressive in their old age, you know, for old people ... to still be performing, but their music doesn't do anything for me, I'm more into reggae and that kind of stuff"... after a little the older dude walked off, to not be seen again, until a couple of hours later as they were watching the band walk on stage Lobato asks another the guy in charge of the gig: "hey, what's that guy doing on stage?", he promptly shut up when the old dude picked up his sticks and sat down behind the drums: Lobato's words after: "he was wearing fucking CORDUROY PANTS!!! ... and had such a small dressing room I thought he was the band's tailor" There you go @yen_powell, post your content where it won´t get lost amongst inane drivel.

THIS SHIT IS WORTHY OF A BOOK! Or it’s own thread!

You should make a thread for your past conversations’ stories!

Not just Alfa, both Opel and BMW had WAY faster engines in South Africa than anywhere else. I suppose it had something to do with racing regulations? The fact is that a south african BMW 325is was way faster than any other 3 series sold anywhere else in the world, in a straight line, and Opel's GSI as well.

It's not true, they'll be happy for you to go pick up food and take it home. You can even take your own nice recipient instead of having to use crappy take away plastic. It'll be a mystery as to why you would prefer to eat soggy food instead of fresh from the kitchen, but to each their own.

Seems you are truly bothered about it, though.
-
Makes sense, good luck with the Polish then!

Can you no longer fit a TRX starter? I think I remember reading that the Honda quads used to share the same exact engine and you could adapt the starter engine to the motorcycle.

My brother knows a couple of guys in Warsaw, if you really want one I could ask if they could get it and ship it over.
