Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Got to be honest I do have a few hammers of various sizes, and a large roll of duct tape. :smt004

Sorry Pete 4k is way too high if your want a lumpy vibrating Rotax, try nearer 2500.

reminds me of the joke about the slightly larger lady who was in an adult shop browsing the vibrators on the wall behind the counter.

The assistant asked which one she would like to have a closer look at.

The lady's eyes alighted on an object and widened in expectation "that one there" she gasped "the red tartan one with the white top"

"That madame" replied the surprised assistant "is my thermos flask!"

That pic of Sam's reminds me of when I worked in civil engineering, and went looking to hire one of those.
Walked into a pertol station and asked the assistant where there was a hire shop.
She asked what we were looking to hire?
When we told her a vibrator with a two inch poker you should have seen her eyes light up.

For different reasons, that reminded me of the time my boss's wife went into the local chemists and asked for 2lb of Epsom salts and a dozen rolls of toilet paper!!!

Don't the fast black bit and the slow yellow bits fight with each other?
