Slow Traffic? (humour)

Just the thing for clearing away those slow HONDA's !!

Actually got a couple of mates building a World War 1 biplane replica, one of them is a display model maker and made these guns from alloy tube, bits of plastic and moulded fibreglass.
They weigh less than a Kilo each!
Somehow I don't think the cops would be amused!!?

Thumbs up

Looks cool Arthur.

If the cops stop you, just tell them they're part of the intercooler for your twin turbos.

Joe

And how much is a pair? We get a lot of dawdling gits over here who believe they dont have to move out of the overtaking lane if they are travelling near the national speed limit. These oughta makem move left rapido!!

Funny you should mention that, the mate who made the guns does car models, one of which is a MAD MAX car!
(I've tried to talk him into doing an SVX, but no luck yet!)

Model looks way cool Arthur.

Your mate must be gifted.

Never could understand how in a world short of petrol Mad Max drove around in a motor that looked like it would do less than 10 mpg, and that's before you switched in the supercharger!!

Well Joe it had to be that economical, with unleaded costing $6.28 US a gallon.

That your current price Harvey?

Currently here it is hovering around 90 cent a litre. This is €4.09 a gallon[Imperial], or converts to $5.44 US a gallon.

Hard to believe we are cheaper here than you guys, with all your V8s and stuff.

Or are we talking like 1976 historic here?

Actually the price has dropped in the last month. It is $1.06 a liter for 92, $1.11 a liter for 95 octain.

Though I live in the dearest spot, about half way between Sydney and Brisbane, the price falls as you go either way, up or down. The exchange rate is around $1.00A=$0.75US.

here as well. seems to be a belief that it is a constitutional right to disregard ones speedo, move to what we comically call the "fast" lane and set up camp there at whatever speed (or lack thereof) they choose. not uncommon to find oneself behind a left-to-right wall of tail lights, all moving at exactly the same speed. gits indeed.

But don't forget the line of traffic that are ALL in the Left (Fast) lane and won't move over when they are doing under the speed limit. Half of them seem to be trailers at times as well. If you pass on the right, you are asking for a ticket. If they changed the fast lane to the right side, it would be much better the way things are going now!!!

This is what we are talking about Earl.

You are very quick to pick up on it.

The brethren in Australia and England/Ireland talk about people holding up the right lane, and not moving left when required or obvious.

This is because the right lane is the overtaking lane for us. Well, it is the overtaking lane when there are no people parked in it doing 50.

Chike, thanks for the 'toon. If the creation of anger is any measure of justice, the obstructive b'stards will definitely burn.

Slowly, if there is any justice.

Joe
