The interests of OOFer's apart from Omega's are wide and varied and weird and wonderful!  :y  So after seeing this article, do we have any Pylon Spotters?  ???  :y

Also, this new design.  The T structure with the Pat Butcher diamond earrings.  ;D  Wouldn't those diamond things that hold the cables blow around in strong winds?  :-\

I m not a pylon spotter. I have always thought that despite the tremendous extra cost it should all be underground. Townies would no doubt dissagree.

We have lost the plot.

Without gas holders, what is the modern method for maintaining gas pressure?

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
