The term 'box of frogs' springs to mind

Very clever though

Bit slow i thought

I was thinking more like: "another crazy English guy with too much time spent in his garage over a rainy winter", but that hits a little too close to home for most on here.

Either the jet was the wrong way round or the wheelchair was.

It's the utter stupidity and pointlessness that really appeals to me...

hows the flame sucker engine work then ?

On the induction stroke is pulls in the hot gas from the flame. This gas then cools, which sucks the piston back up again ready for the next induction stroke.

Works well, until the cooling fins get too hot to cool the charge down.

Does anyone fancy shopping for a jam jar for Wednesday's meet up the A47?

I suppose to be safe we could use Ben's steering wheel as something to rest the jar on
