BW had brains, he would not buy a Vuax anything and Guy Gibbons VC survived, so his dog called Nigel did not need a new owner until Guy flew up the rear end of a Lancaster bomber by mistake (No one had lights on over Holland) and found out that 4 brownings could make a real mess at close range if it was a partial side shot (He was off to one side slightly).

Einstein was OK, but Oppenheimer was not listened to by the USAF about just testing one bomb first. So I agree they could be regarded in a similar way for frying a lot of Far Eastern dogs.

I decided to go back to the box and remove the cone filter thats been on it since I bought it. Managed to source one (cheers Antz) and will be fitted tomorrow. Not bothering with a K+N filter. Way I see it, Ovlov designed it right the first time so therefore I save 30 odd quid.

On another note, I quite enjoy the posts by skyship, you lot give him way too hard a time (especially you 960kg) and yes he does go off tangent and happens to return to oil discussions and yes he sometimes hijacks threads BUT, I can't say I have seen him throw out any ad hominem posts and if you read the replies they seem to be littered with good comebacks if you can spot em.

Got to agree with Haizum 74 on Skyships posts, I find them interesting and at times quite funny.
