I come from a land down under....
Yea, another Kiwi here! Got pointed (shoved?) here by Lamin8r/Robyn so I'm going to blame him for the further lack of work happening in the shed while I spend too much time on another forum!

First, Welcome to the site. I can't say we have NO Problems, Attitudes or Foul Language.. But we try to keep it to a minimum... Originally Posted by lamin8r

Welcome, von mako. Looking forward to more "timely input" - you guys are ahead of us by ~20 hours, so you can tell us about our mistakes as we are making them!!

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

34-40..We seem to have a problem down here where as,some people have to ''bag' others work...especially work down by a well known rod shop...no ones shop in particular,but put it down as not being as good as theirs,or ''I wonder why he did it like THAT..it looks terrible...blah blah...and as von mako has connections to a top shop,he will know what I mean...Basically,its called '''Tall Poppie Syndrome '' down here,,and its something I dont miss,when I come onto this site..Lifestylz may be able to word it differently to me,as the [slightly] older chap is more eloquent than me...

Tall Poppie Syndrome.
In a word or two.
"It describes a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticised because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers."
How's that from the Old Guy Robin?

Hey Robin, Clives always on "vocation" down there in Mangavegas. You will notice he hasn't updated us with progress photos of the Lincoln lately as the golf course has being calling his name really loud. And I'm too short to cut poppies.
Welcome Von Mako to this site from me too.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Vocation Vacation.. lol .. I'm off to spend a week on Waiheke Island soon.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
