Easy solution to that, spend a few years getting the shell in really nice shape then drop and ABF or 20VT in.

The book was very good. I think they did OK converting it to screen and keeping it interesting.

Couple of items:
New Snow Joe jet washer (no.1 selling washer on Amazon)
Quite a few items from Chemical Guys, this in particular (foam canon adapter)
First time use gif HERE
Used a couple more times since, and now the foam is hilarious

I was really close to buying one of these a couple of days ago. If it wasn't for the big bills coming in for the extension we're having built I would have pushed the button.
I can see quite a few uses for it, it'd be excellent to get a more visual way of seeing critical monitoring events at work plus useful for getting calendar notifications.

Gotta love giving your car a snow foam bath
Saves quite a bit of work too.
I always give it two goes (rinsing after first) but leave second foam on and then go around with a lambs wool mitt and two bucket method, far quicker with car sudded already.
i snow foam my car, and there is no way it is quicker than just hand washing, when you have to get the pressure washer out, hose pipes out, extension cable out.. , then pack it all away again, compared too getting two buckets out and filling them with water....
snowfoam is great fun though
Loved the film. But I agree. Wish the whole storm and incidents onto the way to ARES IV Launch site was in the film.
Also wish the ending was the same - it was awful when you think he ripped his suit - there was no way he could have any control over it and the depressurisation would have killed him in seconds.
Also I wish they'd have done the bit where Mitch passes over the plans for doing a flyby off Earth he'd stood up to Teddy more (whoever gave them the plans, aren't we telling them it's NASA's plan?) rather than accepting the fact that he was meant to hand in his resignation immediately after this was resolved.

Not saying it's quicker as a whole but better way of washing a car for sure as damages paintwork far less.
I always do both cars at the same time and snow foam just gets to work on the one car while I'm working on the other - loosens any hardened dirt and generally makes life easier IMO.

Not sure if it 'really' helps, however it is much more fun and the 2yr old loves it

What do you think of that clarke vice?
I've vowed never to buy another clarke tool / equipment again after the last one [ also a vice] I bought, but that one looks a little bit more up market...

Will post some more when I am home and it is set up.
$179 !
I just looked at their website - They have it plugged into a computer - which, unless I am missing something, does all this for you anyway?
Confused as to what else it does
And I usually can't help but purchase overpriced tech
I haven't had chance to use it in anger so I really can't say at the mo.
It swivels 360 on the base and the jaws rotate too. On the opposite side (underneath) of the main jaws there are "pipe jaws" which should come in handy.
I was actually expecting a vice a heck of a lot smaller and was wondering If I'd bought something too small. When the bloke brought the box round I said to him about the box size "Is this going to be like Amazons boxes" !! (meaning huge box for something miniscule)
As soon as I picked the box up I thought "Ooh Bugger, this is substantial"
It weighs 22 kilos and is pretty damn huge !
