There's a kebab joke in there somewhere.

"The Federal Government will cover the cost of rebuilding the bridge... as long as Congress approves it"

The pumps are engine specific... V6/4pot petrol/4pot diesel/6pot diesel.
Without knowing what engine your car has it would be a guess as to the correct pump.

« on: 26 March 2024, 19:12:52 »I see that the port is expected to close indefinitely, causing huge supply chain issues. Last year more than 847,000 cars and light trucks passed through the port, the 13th consecutive year it has led all other ports for these. Nissan, Toyota, GM, Volvo , JLR and VW use Baltimore for imports and exports (Source: National Times).Given just how far inland it is, it's surprising just how busy it is.

Temperature/humidity related perhaps, but to answer your question, no.

« on: 26 March 2024, 16:03:27 »Apparently not from the second video.I read earlier that there were two pilots on board. Seems to have been some kind of equipment failure, it will all come out in the wash..
Night out on the piss before sail away.

« on: 26 March 2024, 15:52:31 »This is a much more informative video. You can see that the ship's lights go out, then come back on again and large plumes of exhaust (suggesting full emergency reverse?) all prior to the impact. To me, that suggests mechanical failure of some sort.That certainly throws a different light on it

looks like they'd almost bought the bow back around.

The container ship wasn't even pretending to be in the marked channel under the bridge
It may have been trying to cut the corner to the west of Fort Carroll but would have had plenty of room to clear the bridge first.

« on: 25 March 2024, 16:11:36 »Cars from 30 years ago that had less power, also had a lot less weight to pull along. So yes it is relative, but imo its much more fun driving a 1 ton car with 150bhp than a 2 ton car with 300bhp.1.3 Polo and 1.4 106 both attest to that. The trolley was a hoot in spite of being a lardy arse with 100 bhp. Near 400bhp in 1.8t is a different sort of progress but still quite effective on a fast twisty road. Much like the Omega.

« on: 25 March 2024, 15:35:48 »A 2.3 Granada with a heady 114bhp used to be enough to get the job done on the quicker side of safely. Now it requires about 300bhp and commitment..
M40 - M25 has too many cameras for such shenanigans .
And this is the problem wherever you drive these days. When we travelled back from Wales recently, I commented to my Mrs that, apart from brisk overtakes, theres not much point in having a fast car these days. We were in her car, which is well capable of north of 150mph, but the traffic flow, average speed monitoring cameras and the sneaky camera vans etc made it a painfully long journey.The days of playing beat the sat nav ETA by half are a thing of the distant past now.
