  1. .....detective badge. He knew Penny liked to be arrested, so he just gave her a warning and she nearly scratched his eyes out, but the Ray Bans come in handy for those moments, and he was able to ......................
  2. Great things were going to happen on the sidelines after that event, but it all seems to have fizzled out.
  3. .....stints he did supporting the CWA ladies at the local Shows, where he often had to "stand in" at the Boxing tent if the locals squibbed it. Turbo "volunteered" one day after lunch in the "President's Lounge"at the Grongy Show. The Cockies were all too embarrassed to step up, and Turbo,on the way to the Cat pavilion expecting to see a ribbon around Smoky's neck, was too embarrased to say no. The bell rang for Round 1 and Albo started skipping around the ring. As fast as Turbo ran, he couldn't catch Albo, until CWA member Kath Woodridge tripped him up. As Albo fell to his knees, Turbo fell over him and won by a ..............
  4. Well we'll know all that from the ATSB report. We're not talking about a Thruster or Jabiru here; we're not even talking about a Cessna 172 or Cherokee Warrior. I've done some flying in a 210 and even when you're in the circuit it need a lot more attention to detail for the higher workload, there's a lot more power which quickly changes one event to another. As I mentioned, there will be an ATSB report and it might show something entirely different to pilot skills - like a structural failure.
  5. Yes, favourite trick of CFIs just as a group was leaving with the tents, beer and rifles.
  6. Given spins are prohibited in recreational aviation, maximum turn is 60 degrees, where are you trying to go with this?

  8. com. fashion.com is a company started by Capp and bull (in his lower case days.) They never told anyone about it. It was on the ground floor of a two story Industrial Building. There never seemed to be many women coming to the showroom, but outside the building there were usually two dozen Mustangs, BMWs, Benzs and Audis. The lights on the top floor were on 24 hours a day. People in the game would know this as a CIA site, as innocent as it might look. It was typical of the CIA to have a printing shop below, and they would use it to produce fake passports and Formula 1 3 day passes, or they might have a meatworks. Turbine Undercover would install cameras around the area and this was so sensitive that Turbo was required to do this himself. No one ever picked him in the tradey fluro, false beard and shorts, even with the white legs. Located on the outskirts of Canberra, this location was humming ................

  11. The first, VN Commodore was released with an engine that Buick didn't want any more, so the tooling was available cheap. GM Melbourne engineers spun the engine in reverse to the Buick, and got reliability and 125 kW. The later Holden Alloytec (ecotec) V6 was a joint design by GM Australia and US, for the Australian and Canadian markets at 152 kW. The Isuzu Jackaroo sold by Holden had a V6 at 171 kW.
  12. ........Moses like, where one day he can be chucking down bbq prawns with Bull, who's patched as "BULLET!" in his local HA Chapter, and on another, shooting rabbits with CT up next to the Airport. In fact,reflecting on the day's events ........
  13. No, and the "Chevy V8: includes both small block and big block. The Chevy used to power several aircraft is the Chev 350, a small block 350 cubic inch engine.
  14. "can be under" load and designed to be under load are two different things. The Ranger engine is designed for an intermittent power application which includes cruise stints at rated GCM. Even there there will be bends, dips, hills winds which vary power demand. Stationary Engines are designed for constant load application. They are started, run at a constant governed rpm and often have a constant power demand, such as a bore pump. Aircraft engines are designed for constant load application. The application is usually a shirt climb, a long cruise and a short descent. Manufacturers building for a constant power demand market need to design a more robust engine. Manufacturers building for an intermittent power demand market can take a lot more shortcuts and save a lot of cost without detriment to the buyers in that market. What confuses the issue are intermittent engines which punch way above their class. The small block Chev 350 is one of the legends, and the engines which have succeeded in recreational aircraft. In general, you wouldn't think of putting an intermittent power demand engine in an aircraft but some have been bulletproof enough to make the grade. In this particular crash, maybe the fuel tap is going to be found in the off position, maybe there had been an engine issue. Either way, the splay at the end of the runway wasn't clear for a landing was it. And there are plenty more like that around the country.
  15. .......Turbo had to add a powdered glue to the product, which hurt the back pocket a bit. but The TurbineSandsOfTime company raced back into the Market Share lead. It started to rain...... Going back to Turbo's last ride........Mel McDaniel wrote a song about Turbo - "Stand On It". Turbo had superglued all the bikes on full throttle and Mel didn't mince words
  16. , not familiar in the process, booked in to Madam Tusauds' having heard how good it was years ago. Turbo lost his grip after the wax, and was seen doing things, or usually not doing them that he'd never condoned in the past. There were skidmarks all over the place and ...........

  17. .......have plenty of scruples on hand. Turbo carries jerry cans of scruples because there aren't many in NSW. Turbo also came unstuck near The Rock one day on his Vincent. A Highway Patrol cop pulled him over, and Turbo, trying to be friendly said, "It's a Firking wet day isn't it, and the cop wrote him a ticket for obscene language, then announced that he'd been clocked at 1 million, 750 thousand Barleycorns over the speed limit. Turbo had been through this before and started making carking noises. Hundreds of crows descended on the highway and Turbo, after a short time disputed the Cop's alleged speed. There was a recount and Turbo came in 1.5 million Barleycorns under the limit. "I hope yer Firkin' wheels fall orf! yelled the cop. Talking about apothecarial, Turbo has been upgrading his CAD system to 3D. Going through the learning process, he was told the difference between an Inscribed polygon and a circumscribed polygon. Turbo was startled at the difference; he'd been circumscribed when he was a baby, and all his life he had suffered ongoing pains. He now realises he should have been Inscribed or ...........
