In Oregon, that towing setup would be illegal!rokytnji wrote:A common sight on our freeways. These are towed convoys of vehicles being bought at USA car auctions and then towed south with home made 3 vehicle tow hookups.
Vehicles in all sorts of wreckage conditions.
They are going to Latin American Countries that need vehicles.
Ford Pickups are a favorite. My 67 was stolen and stripped and burnt in Mexico.
So was my 71 cherry red Chevy Nova. I keep my toys now behind a big white fence guarded by 6 dogs.
It is still the wild west out here.
I know because I checked into it once thinking of towing more than one vehicle.
No, no. I saw the photo and made me smile so I thought that you may find it funny too.Ibidem wrote:I presume that's something you did?Galbi wrote:If it works...

I saw the photo as a bullet here http://www.fabio.com.ar/6151
Check it every Thursday and blown your head in this Russian Roulette.
Advice: some bullets might be a little NSFW.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
And you don't need to know the language. Unless it's a picture of some text.
I couldn't read any thing on the page Galbi gave but can understand the pictures no problemo.

It did, but not as much as project photos would have.
I would enjoy seeing some projects involving "alternative computer cases"...stuff that does not look like it would be a computer.
(And thanks for pointing out where it came from, but I'd rather avoid NSFW stuff.)
An idea I keep thinking about is a wooden-cased "luggable"--with a knife switch for the ultimate reset.

Few days ago I saw photos of Google's first server. The post said due to lack of money they built the startup's server with lego bricks and some plastic sheet. I don't know if it's true but seems ok.Ibidem wrote:It did, but not as much as project photos would have.

Thanks for the URL, Galbi. I understand Spanish a little (just a little!).
Interesting concept, for a site!
I thought this one from the "ruletta rusa" list was quite telling:
If this is not a country where cars are driven from the right hand side,
this tramway has just subtracted a logical being needlessly...

Hi, Galbi.Galbi wrote:Sorry musher0, I didn´t catch this:You mean something related to the said: "the one that comes from the right, has the right to pass."this tramway has just subtracted a logical being needlessly...
Not quite, although in the context, it could be funny...
What I mean, bluntly: If that picture is not from Australia or Great
Britain or some other country where the driver of the car is seated on the
right-hand side of the car, the driver of that car has most likely been
killed by that tramway...
The driver is the "logical being" and the accident is the
"substraction" (Gee, I'm complicated!)
On the same dark humor note, in my country, there is a highway/street
regulation that says that a pedestrian is always right, even if he or she
has been squished by a car... As I said... dark humor.
BFN.
