They are illegal for use on public roads, then again do you care?

My car has been tested on a dyno with and without and CAT and the CAT has negligible impact on RWHP, but again what do I know. I suggest that you read Wikipedia or eHow for definitive facts and empirical evidence.

You would have tested a straight through item, not this one. 8)

zero00 I doubt I will make it, however if it was 7 days earlier....

Regie and emily_mx5 it would appear that I'm signing up for knitting classes as well. I should sit back and make some popcorn to see how this thread develops, but I feel it is in the S bend and too big to flush :)

I know this is 'off topic' Magpie but who really cares? When I first started working at the Drive-in back in the 80's we would get the strangest questions!

Why don't you show movies during the day?
Can I park backwards like those vans do?
Do you have anything else here except movies?

Well, on the last one I replied to one lady 'of course we do! We have the State Speed Knitting'championships here every year! Like the Pffafs, Singers etc and it's FUN! This story grew and grew and I'm sure i just got in deeper and deeper! I invented names like Madge Brown from Narrabri who wore farmers' boots, all the dumb stuff [am I highjacking this topic?] and the quick reply grew to a short story to almost 'War & Peace'! The 'BS' flew, I'd even say how once competing on my lowered Pffaf that on a colour change I dropped a stitch on a colour change while leading and came 4th, missing a trophy. It got to the stage I was ready to get some trophies engraved to substantiate the story! Hell I got a laugh from it and it raised from the grave again when I moved here in '95 and started at the Keperra Twin!

You still with me Magpie? This could be rivetting at the 'tall ones' we have told and managed to keep a straight face! I've always loved comedy and once was offered to write it for a radio station in Brisbane but couldn't accept at the volume they required - of course this topic has re-ignited my passion and desire!

Say hi to the lovely Tess for me!! :MOCHA_LES: :MOCHA_LES:

Now, where have I stored that Pffaf? Might have to get some Chinese mods for it off F-Bay!!
