I have one q for u Hip.............does that engine actually turn the prop nicely? I am not exactly a purist in the big picture of bits and bobs and cobbling together. Especially when it is so obvious that things should go together and see what the.........


To answer, had the engine out for a test yesterday and works absolutely perfectly. Had a 5 horse air cooled Archimedes for comparison which it completely creamed in every aspect but noise. Oodles of torques and an instant response from the throttle. Not overly fast but still much better than the Archimedes. Starts great and runs up to full throttle no probs. After an hour or mostly full throttle I had used just over a pint of juice. Will make an exhaust to quiet it down but apart from that am well happy.

I never did build a hippy motor. Chilli Dog did a brass one. I believe you, Bruce, were going to build a themed one but I can't remember what the theme was. I've seen an Union Jack themed gull. I can't find a picture of it though but have found this Gal. Rather Hippyish!

Yes Hugo!

A "Bogan Gull"!

Nearly finished it and put into storage a while ago. I have not ratted any of the bits...........strange aye

Def:

A fascinating beast. The majority of the species are hideously repugnant and unintelligent, and yet they manage to breed in ever-increasing numbers and populate an area known as the outer west. It is quite common to find five or six offspring in each family group, often with a different father for each new baby.
Their habitat consists of a weatherboard or brick-veneer dwelling and is characterised by an early-model Holden or Ford in the driveway surrounded by a group of males discussing why the carby is stuffed and the results of last night's footy (a primitive gladiator-like spectator sport enjoyed by most bogans).
The female of the species, while smaller in stature, is far more loud and aggressive than the male. While the males tend to be very friendly and congregate with other males, the females spend most of their time in supermarkets and shopping malls, using a shrill high-pitched call to discipline their children and contact other females.
Males and females rarely interact socially except during breeding season, which is otherwise known as Friday night. During this time, females are allowed to enter the male-dominated area known as "the pub" and display their impressive coloured plumage to a prospective mate.
Herein lies an intersting phenomenon. Males will often fight over a particularly attractive female and she will mate with only one male, while some less attractive females have been known to have several partners simultaneously.

Ahhhh. The wonders of nature.
