Understood that I was becoming a street racer , decided to stop myself prior to go over the luck limits
120kmh double 90° turn
Drifting
Cops once sing the clacson three times with headlights while driving at 140kmh ,they just did that just to say hello because never received nothing.
That's happened with my car
This morning cops on the road and me driving at about 3 times the speed limit , they didn't even tried .
2 times is enough .
Some serious accidents in these days (,not me but other people's) .
So I think that is time to understand that or I start to do that at a semi pro,or hobby level in a controlled environment with a real specific built for car or I'm going towards serious consequences .
Other than that I've accomplished to enter in list for vaccination

I never have. What's the point, if you have to go in to pay, anyway?I always sit on a bike to fill up
I'm not aware of any disadvantage to having a centrally-mounted fuel cap, in the case of one of my bikes - it seems to take the full amount even on the side stand.

My Honda ST13 takes 29L to fill. That's nearly FORTY QUID! to fill a bloody bike 
Only one of my mates has a bike with a bigger tank and that's aPanzer IV BMW GS1200 (32L).
At least the Honda has the decency to hide some of the fuel under the seat to keep the weight lower. And it can get from Teesside to Paris on 2 tanks

Just that extra few hundred ml from being upright
I always put the side stand down first as well, in case I have to get off in a hurry. If a filling station attendant told me off, I'd take it gracefully though, I know I'm in the wrong.

Bit of a toss up between what did you do and what you acquired but today I went to use one of these "magic tungstens" (I have no idea) and found them too long to fit my torch so chopped 10mm off them all (look at me, gone all metric) and sharpened the lot. Decided I need a CBN wheel on the grinder as opposed to a Diamond wheel for the tungstens, these are really hard.
Pink too?

Finished the leatherwork on the seats and the rear 'perch'. Brake balancing, engine tuning and then a few odd jobs to go. Then I have to sell it. 
Lots of aggro trying to turn it from 6V with a 3-brush dynamo to a 2-brush with 12V. Difficulty finding suitable headlamp lenses, problems converting the regulator etc..

Builder asked me to attach these galvanised beams to an RSJ buried in a wall,he’d already cut pockets,and half the flange for me to attach a plate to,which the S/E had issued a drawing to effect it.
Not much access,had to bend the electrodes.

My Chrysler 318 V8 cam with an assortment of aftermarket aluminium pulleys, not all of which were for a Chrysler.
One of the issues with 60/70's Chryslers is that there was a plethora of pulley offsets depending on a host of things. Guess what, yup, my pulleys were not close to a set. I also want to fuel inject it at a later date with a home built manifold.
First job was to make a spacer for the crank pulley to align it with the water pump and alternator (new Lucas, brackets by me). Then it was clocked in the four jaw and the added piece skimmed so it was true. I had bought a trigger wheels 36-1 pilot bored wheel, this was bored to suit. The whole lot is screwed together.
Made a bracket for the crank sensor out of some 13mm ally I had lying about.
It all sits on this.

well it's all @8ob fault... he did have to show a means of heating the ultrasonic tank that had to be copied.... thanks for the idea..
took a bit longer than planned, well the installation was quick enough, but the deep fat fryer was sitting beside the tank for months... anyway, have a bank of carbs to do so that motivated me... we now have a turbo charged 30 litre ultrasonic tank. Have deliberately used the original chip pan mount, which slides up and down, so I can remove it when it's up to temperature. Not sure how the heating element would stand up to direct contact with high frequency vibrations, so made it removable. not really a problem with the original mount it takes seconds to raise it.. then I can switch on the normal ultrasonic heater to maintain the temp as necessary.
heating time has reduced from several days ( well ok 3+ hours) to a far more usable 30 minutes.. off to drain the water out, clean it and see why the temp isn't reading correctly.... maybe dislodged something puting it back together.

good to know... wasn't sure, so err'd on the side of safe, especially as it's not a high quality industrial element, only a cheap chip heater....

I wanted to use up my argon bottle, resumed the table..
Quite happy with the tig. I need a lot more practise. I cut a tungsten in half and tried using the glass cup, and the wp9 pen torch. Pen wins, but Id forgotten my other torch head is a flex, so will try that next time.
Then I ran out of gas - really should have tacked the rest first!
Not so happy with arc, tube fillets are a challenge. Plus something moved. I will cut it off and tig when I get a fresh bottle.

Started a refurb this outdoor display unit recently to show the summer items at the toy shop, only metal work was making some gusset plates to fix the wheels on and cleaning up rusty chrome grid wall in the apertures, It makes a good eye catching display
