There certainly was no need for Micro metric fit stub axles, we just hammered them on to wooden axles to fit. Alignment & Toe In? What alignment & Toe In is that then???:Rolling:
Not sure if the ball bearing jobs were any faster or they just sounded like that on bitumen surfaces but by **** they impressed the sheilas but not exactly what you'd need for a "Stealth" BitZa even if you painted the whole shebang black matt. [bigrolf]
Hardly in the same league

Btw, the lack of care for that product seems a bit stupid by the business as at the very least they should have been taken off the shelves much earlier & placed on the floor which I have assumed nowadays as probably Terrazzo or concrete. Temps increasing? You place them in a Coolroom/Storeroom or place wet Bags/Blankets over the stack with a plastic sheet in between.
When the heat disappears they'll be heat affected (turned white) & probably be given or thrown away.
"Ah but the customer can't see them to purchase". Tough, they want to eat melted Chocolate in a 31c temp? Then they are idiots.
They'll probably expect a Credit from the Distributor & who pays for that, we all do wherever Cadburys is sold.? :soapbox:
Cant see why not, the RAAF played Softball. [bighmmm] [bigrolf]Quote:

But gee it made some noise.
A mate at school had one and showed them how to build it.
I think they used lighter fumes to propel the spuds,can’t quite remember,seniors disease is catching up to me.[bighmmm]
I do remember their mother confiscated it,and destroyed it,the kids thought that it was the end of the world.[bigsad][biggrin]
A coastal supermarket. More like a big 'convenience store'.Quote:

No probs with the price for the quality.
About 6 months ago I got some and it came up on the till @ $4.90. Been buying at that price ever since and so have a fair few other people. It'd be the cost price and the owners haven't twigged and it seems no samaritan is good enough to tell them.
They sell the loose tea I prefer @ 4.80 and it's like all the other staples there, i.e. never 'on special'.
Everyday price at WW for the same is $3.30, sometimes $2.60.
