U... actually, more likely it is British Standard, or Whitworth.

In any case, Euan, good to hear from you. We Yanks are an odd lot when it
comes to politics, so thanks for your patience. Since we have no King, we
have to make our own way and that always leads to discussion and of course,
who ever is talking is always right.. haha..

Don't give up on us, drop in and visit more often. I'm something of a new
guy compared to some here, having only joined in about 4 years ago, fill me
in, what are you driving and fixing.
I'm well on my way to collecting a matched set of 123 Diesel Mercedes, one
of each model.

If you want to play in our sandbox again you'll have to learn how to spell
"tires".

[MBZ] Hey... We’re all upside down!

2020-05-16 Thread Euan Kennedy via Mercedes
LOL, no, our tyres are just as good as yours. 

This north is up and south is down thing is just a mental construct. It’s kinda 
handy to get our puny human brains organised around viewing the planet that 
way. Otherwise we’re all clinging to a round rock floating in a universe which 
doesn’t have ups and downs, Norths or Souths. 

Scary, eh. Let’s just be grateful that the slingshot effects of rotation are 
still out-muscled by the sucking effects of gravity. For the moment. 

And anyway, who said north was up?
