In the bath...

*** Edit this now has its own forum, so please start your own thread***


Not sure where the old 'in the bath' thread has gone. Search couldn't find it, and I've looked behind the fridge too.

Anyway let this be the first of the new decade...

this

+ the engine from this

+ one of these

And one of these to help it all fit.

Ok who let Ren have too much Irn-Bru

I had a cunning plan prior to bath time influenced by something I saw at Autosport...

The Legends race series means there is a ready supply of brand new small scale glassfibre hot rod style bodyshells which would make an ideal base for a single seat PPC style special.

To keep everything in scale you'd need the running gear from a Suzuki Supercarry/Beford Rascal and could then bolt in the 1300 twink from a Suzuki swift. If you use a complete van as a donor you'd retain the reg number and SVA/IVA shouldn't be too tricky thanks to the smooth body shell.

Build it from 20mm box section and a total weight of 500kg should be realistic making 200bhp per tonne....

More likely see one of these..

You're right. With enough Irn Bru I wouldn't need the crowbar

Max - do those bedford rascals have a separate chassis+body? If so then it might be possible to avoid an IVA altogether as the points system goes on about chassis mods rather than body mods...

[Max]

The Rascal doesn't have a separate chassis, but a Reliant kitten does...

As does the nissan powered FX4 taxi and there is a company that offers 32 and 34 ford bodies for about £2k that will fit directly onto it.

I had an idea this morning:
An Alfa with the beloved Saab turbo engine.

Italian style, without the Italian reliability.

The current Alfa v6 is basically a GM one...

Bathtime question...

why do air biscuits released under the water smell stronger than those released in atmospheric conditions?

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. But why?

... 'super saturated high energy steam' >> what made British Railways locos so great!

Can you imagine what they'd be like if you had 'fire tubes' up your ar$e? ... you could cut a hole in your Cast Iron bath wi'em!!

More likely to be diffusion, if you inject a gas into another gas of similar density then the turbulence will make it diffuse to a lower concentration. Injecting it into a fluid of a different phase will mean it can't diffuse so will be at a higher concentration when the bubble burst.

Aren't we getting a tad too technical about farting in the bath?

I have a simple solution to this problem:
A, I lock the door!
B, I usually have a shower.
