My daughter (17) is going on a college trip tomorrow to a very crazy country, France.
She wasn't normal to start with.
Worrying whatever, when they're abroad no matter how old they are.

I drove into Paris once. Once. Never again. Until I did it, I'd never seen a fork, in an underpass...where of course the GPS loses signal, and everyone is doing 100kph. Then you surface and immediately hit a T junction...while the GPS is still reinitialising. Aargh!

The Japanese often cant cope with being in France and some have to be repatriated as a medical emergency.
I'd much prefer to visit Japan.

Sounds like Pizzaborg driving.....and there is always a river to run into.
Thanks and yes, well spotted, it’s my local track

Rural Japan is also nice, but a bit crowded.

Lived and worked in France for ten years.
The French all know that the place is mad, but they mostly keep quiet and try to ignore things as best they can.
A bit like Russia, I would imagine....

Around the edge with a lump hammer and cold chisel
It gives me an edge to grind up to.

We went to a wedding in Paris, came back around the peripherique (not sure of spelling) at about midnight, it was like a racetrack, particularly motorcycles, weaving in & out of the cars at well in excess of 100 mph. Another time we were coming around there towing a trailer tent, friends behind & a car came past us, lost it alongside us & cut across the front of us by inches, mate behind thought we were gonners. We then realised this guy was being chased, we got a few kilometres up the road & both cars were stopped on the hard shoulder & the chasers had the guy out of the car & beating hell out of him. I try to avoid Paris now

I went round the Arc de Triomphe about 12 times in my old MK3 Escort before I found the right turn off! Bloody nightmare.
I did get my own back on the froggies though by ramming an almost brand new Volvo 440 up the harris right outside a police ststion
Turns out a lot of pedestrian crossings over there don't have large orange flashes globe's to warn you of their presence and the rear brake shoes on the Escort were a bit thin...

I’m still plugging away on the 240. The NS quarter repair TIG welded on.
Put the reverse arms on the spot welded and got the lip to the new inner arch done.
Lots of plug welds from the inner tub to the outer tube and it’s one step closer to being a road going vehicle.

A while back I brazed up an internal grooving tool for Onoff's project. Its supposed to be 1.5mm but I used a 2mm insert. As I needed 1.5mm for an external groove I though I would grind it, and works well.
Except I ground a bit too much making it 1.3mm. No problem I just need to cut in two passes. Would be much easier next time to grind before brazing. I have spare inserts if I need to.
I was making a spare nut. These Echo 2511's have retained bar nuts by this wire clip, a great idea. I've looked and dont see them available exept at chainsaw suppliers for 4 quid each! Another £4 for the clip - that should be easy enough to bend from stainless wire.
I want atleast 7 more for my other saws, as I am always dropping them. Guess where the original is currently hiding, under the lathe bench! I couldnt find it.
Looks like I will be filing the hex's. I couldnt think of a better way other than brazing a turned round onto a standard nut, or using a larger hex, 16mm instead of 13mm, but I'd like to keep it 13mm.
If anyone has a mill and would like to hex them for me I can turn extras
