  3. ........found the root by accident at a BNS ball in Booligal. Turbo was out of his territory after Deniliquin where he sat in on the "Biggest Boopers" and "Circle Work Championships along with Bush Dancing but Booligal was simply wild with no rules, no limits and in some cases no clothes. As NES readers know, Turbo is a kindly person and he drove off into the bush, found a massive Mallee Root and towed it back on to the lawn in front of the Marquee, ready to light it up to keep the people warm. It was a group from Dimboola who started talking about it, taking photos and bringing out their tapes, and just as Turbo threw a 200 litre drum of diesel on it, they all screamed not to light it up; it was a world record root. Turbo grinned modestly and ...........................

  5. ...........do the same as he'd done for the coal industry. He told the Parliament that wood was no good; it caused splinters. Almost overnight seven hundred Wood Scientists applied for and were given hundred thousand dollar Grants from Australian Universities for papers on the "scourge" of wood, and the powerful Wood Industry, whose Chairman CT Wood was always rabbiting on about how wood saved us money. In the Cabinet Room, Albo explained how everyone was getting splinters from wood and it had to stop, and he, the mighty Albo, who had, in his eyes, surpassed the Great Gough and the Little Crier, and he instructed all Ministers to erase wood from any future constructions or industry. Paper disappeared almost overnight and ........
  6. This was rumour from some years ago which has been added to and added to by some people who have never studied the system, what's there now, what qualifications are required, what aircraft are required, what procedures are required, what equipment is required, and it was sold to the members by the rumourmongers as something new, hence my advice. As far back as 2010 Motzart Merv, an RA Instructor was operating in it daily, legally, to teach his students.
  7. You're asking for rumours; why? Why don't you just ask CASA and get the truth?
  8. .........log books are not for writing "Oh my goodness, had close one there" or please to Mr inspection for accepting hundred dollar bill even more and look forward to good curry at Gilgandra." OneTrack is on the money with that photo because that's a new Kenworth K220 Raj with full auto transmission after most of the trial truck Roadrangers finished up on the ground with the Raj still hanging on for grim death. The Australian truckies started to lose money and turned on ....
  9. Grongy's GRU
  10. form of chemical castration, which is illegal in Australia because Albo has declared the country, with a Chairman Xi-like edict that Chemicals are banned in Australia. None of his cabinet picked up the meaning of "Chemicals" Because of this, Turbo was able to have the sub continentals charged with "Possess Chemical or Chemicals in a Public Place which had happened to be the Grong Grong Public Hall on the Newell Highway. The NSW Police Highway Patrol were running the case, having booked 350 B Doubles illegally "Parked on a Highway", all with the first name "Raj", all with the paper International Driver Licence and all in Australia on Student Visas, so Immigration had to be called in as well. All were charged also with "Racism" by the Department of Gender (and they were fanatics that made CASA look like a Christmas Carol CWA group of 80 yo farmers' mothers. Turbo was represented by Benjamin Cook and Partners Law (that the partners were all female and came from Kings Cross wasn't disclosed). The case sensationally started .......... The Beef Vindaloo was so savage that the Toilets were booked out three months ahead, and Raj McCurry installed a convenient touch pad in each so the payment of $500.00 for use could be made quickly. For the benefit of NES readers unfamiliar with driver licences, the International driver's licence does not require the tedious Australian requirement to have driver training or any experience in a car. This was how Eryl Waggot won dash cam of the week with his video of Raj parking his B Double with the A Trailer in front of and the B Trailer behind, a European Refugee made Mini Cooper adorned with multiple stripes that somewhat resembled the Union Jack.
  11. ....decided to make a quiet and respectful appeal to Wotrak the Indian way. By now many Nessers will have seen the floorshow where, anywhere on the main routes of Australia, Raj will fill up his Volvo with 2100 litres of diesel, find that the fleet owner is out of credit and then when that's been finally settled. having walked in to the disrespectful name "Pie Face" is handed his pie stone cold. The Union Representative tried to settle the food issue, but Raj went ballistic and the others were excited by this and decided to give anyone who looked like management a good whipping with their rattan cane.........
  12. .....canteen and locked the doors. "This is no better than Delhi" said on, and another chimed in with "at least we got hot chappadys there" and Raj with a freckle under his eye said "we better decide a vote before ......... All inhabitants from the subcontinent were trained in British democracy. Wotrack wasn't.
  13. FRP is Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic i.e. a plastic reinforced by glass. There are many types of glass and many types of plastic. Fire retardant resins are used on critical applications, and I've seen it used on Shell Petrol tankers successfully in Australia. Shell agreed to it after seeing a Tanker on fire containing the boiling surface of the petrol, so not like the old FRB boat.
  14. .......the out of control Rib Cutter headed towards that huge gut.........but then something happened that OHS people drill into workers over and over again - Never assume! the gut cutter ran over a power cord, shorting which dropped its altitude and headed for the open toed shoes of that lazy Raj Cook and chopped his big ........
  15. ...batch of wing ribs cut NOW!" Raj Wotrak was a demanding foreman and hated by the production team. The above tool was the rib cutter, and a Rib Cutter was expected to cut 500 ribs per day without cutting any of his own. Raj Punjabi managed to do this very well until the day when the foareman decided they would go on strike and yelled "DOWN TOOLS OH MY GOODNESS NOW!!!!!!!!" He dropped the Rib Cutter and it ran across the floor neatly chopping off Raj Borwak's toes, climbed the wall and took off the ear of an apprentice, ran out of cord and bounced back cutting the workshp's dog in half, continued on to the other side of the workshop where Raj Rasmussen had just taken his pants off to change for home. They talked about it for years; never had they seen such a clean castration. It dropped to the ground on some hessian, got a good grip and flew into the air, heading for Raj Wotrak's gut........................
  16. Agree, some should be made of aluminium of steel. Where light weight is required mig welded aluminium tube can be fast to produce and strong. Light steel tube welded or with Nickel Bronze brazing are also usually lighter than castings and both fire-proof.
  17. It could collapse and block the interior. Usual Procedure is to use a material which can be melted or collapsed inside the Carbon Fibre etc structure and extracted.
  18. .....but Turbo just referred him to Turbine Grammar School for those whose prose is close, and signed him up for a Truster, requesting it be painted duck egg blue. Turbo patiently explained that it had taken six months to train Raj to paint using a black pot, and it would do his brain in if he was shown duck egg blue, but he could throw in heavy mains from a 1999 MAN and this ..................
  19. .........so Oh my goodness how much would you charge me per motor? "55 rupees" replied OT. Now this may see a remarkably cheap price for a complex engine in good running order, but there never was a Cat starter motor that didn't need 3 cans of Start ya Bastard and the starter motor rope tied to a Land Cruiser, or three hours with a set of SAE ring spanners. Cat would have been better off starting a relationship with Mr Briggs or Hank Stratton. The TAI Truster powered by CAT(REG) was an instant success, from that ear-shattering pop pop pop pop noise to its full fuse instead of the Thrusters appearance like a horse with its hind quarters sawn off. And they flew like birds. Very soon there were executives commuting all over India in Trusters for business, and they could carry a full suitcase including turbans. It was almost too good to be true..........................
  20. ....Approval from Raj Begum, Raj Saamuda, Raj Jandaklian, Raj Mahindra, Raj Tata and other senior members of the Australian truck industry. "We like it rough!" said Raj Peacock. Raj Mumbai came up with the great idea of ...............................
  21. You've carried on about Part 103 for long enough. Part 103 is a United States class, not Australian, and it comes with US Safety standards. The constant BS about it send people away when they have the Australian equivalent to fly and the freedoms available in Australia. Most of these flyers operate under another Self Administering Organization where they can ger the correct information and guidance.
  22. Which one do you want? What happens if, in an accident you become catapulted through the windscreen and the uncontrolled car kills a family vs the person with a seat belt still having control over the car. The system we have now allows high risk activity in many sports and recreational activities which might have been shut down under the previous State control on the grounds of affordability.
  23. Obfuscation isn't going to help, it's the precedent that Australia works on, and last time I checked so did New Zealand, USA, UK and Canada.
  24. As far as we know; the driver was quite happy wearing a safety harness and arm restraints. The driver wasn't stupid. He wasn't looking for a right not to wear a harness. The Chief Steward I mentioned was a Victorian Chief Steward flown to another state to investigate the accident. Step 1 in this case was the driver probably rushed back to the pits to jump in his car and forgot to do up his harness. Step 2 was that at all tracks there must be a Pit Steward in Pit Lane who goes down the line reaching in and grabbing the harness to make sure it's tight and fitting correctly. Normally this is enough to pick up those who forgot. Step 3 was the head on crash - unusual in racing where the car stopped dead and he was thrown up with his head hitting the roll cage. (roll cages must be roomy enough that no part of the body can hit the roll cage when you are restrained by the harness.) As far as your "Driver stupidity" is concerned which implies a normal driver wouldn't do that; having experienced the trauma of this event for all the people directly involved there was a night where we were called to the pits for an unscheduled race. We had to run back, jump in, get pushed into order in Pit Lane and get the car primed for a push start out onto the track. There was no Pit Steward in place to check the harnesses. I didn't notice that, but I always made a habit when the engine started, to pull the shoulder straps tight. This night they came loose in my hands. We were only going to get one roll around lap so I made the decision that if I couldn't get the harness done up by the time we rolled to the end of the straight (it involved both hands and some twisting), I'd pull onto the infield and out of the race. So in this case no one intended to let this go through, but just through check failures there could have been a fatal accident.
