Re: The beauty of Vinyl...

I find this Who album cover very poignant. Keith Moon died shortly after it's release. Look what it says on his chair.

Yes for sure. 'Owner prevention' I think I've heard it named.

Yes, completely agree. Trouble is, people fall for it and are turned on by it. It seems that the more tech something is the more desireable it is.

Re: 73 CapriEV

Those are super pics of the car. If you should have a front-angled view (similar to the rear-angled one) please post it! Do you mean of the simulated racing car? Yes, similar to the bottom pic you posted, but from the front angle. I do know Ric Wood a little funnily enough, been to his place, fasci...

Re: Jobs on a car that were easier than expected and jobs that were harder than expected

It`s ironic because all this complexity is so that you can just press a button rather than having the onerous task of pulling a lever. See - it`s making life easier.... ;) Hehe, irony is a good term for it all! High tech is a great selling point, as people swoon at the thought of it all. You can im...

Re: Jobs on a car that were easier than expected and jobs that were harder than expected

The modern human form seems obsessed with making everything as complicated as possible, with a focus and obsession on tech. A lot of this though, is anything but 'smart'.

Re: Did this man forget to take his brain medicine?

How bizarre? This kind of thing is a real problem though, as you get people who may have one, has a look on ebay (people tend to ignore all the lower prices for some reason), and instantly think they have parts worth a fortune.
