Agree and this is the really scary part. That one can lead astray so many ppl by just claiming bogus stuff for a prolonged period. I guess it would be a lot harder in a state with less missfortuned ppl so its def set by the climate in us where so many feel like they got a rotten deal.

I dont see this going away with trump either. The blueprint is out there. But perhaps it will be a difficult act to follow. Lets hope so anyways.

Ofc but she likely has a background and upbringing that "demands" other priorities. Ppl who are born rich ofc takes for granted beeing rich and i suspect power and influence is what one strives for as the next step in these type of circumstances or so i imagine. If wealth cant give u a sense of success im betting power will. Or so they believe. Much like many of us thinks more money will somehow make us more happy and successful which it likely will not.

You should now sell the bikes / parts without your local vat. They (the customers) pay vat + duty when they import the stuff / frame / bikes etc.

So the cost for the consumer would be your local price minus local vat + whatever vat they have in the country of the reciever + duty depending on whats imported.

Thinking i was on the last page i read the first post from 4 years ago. Thought it was rather on point for this year ...

Trump's brand of post truth and his willingness to suggest without saying are making this intresting enough for another politics tab.

Hints at assassination are really extreme but it feels like it is becoming a new norm. His supports just shrug it off as a wilful misinterpretation by the Clinton campaign/mainstream media.

Really interesting tho is this building of the idea that if Trump doesn't win then the election is illegitimate. Where are they going with this. Is this as extreme as the Trump team knowing they wont win and looking at other avenues to take power or are they just simply throwing another cat on the table.

Roger Stone, an informal adviser to the Trump campaign, implied last month to internet agitator Milo Yiannopoulos that the notion of discrediting the election as “illegitimate” is part of Trump’s campaign strategy.

“I think we have widespread voter fraud, but the first thing that Trump needs to do is begin talking about it constantly,” Stone said. “He needs to say for example, today would be a perfect example: ‘I am leading in Florida. The polls all show it. If I lose Florida, we will know that there’s voter fraud. If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government.’”

“If you can’t have an honest election, nothing else counts,” Stone continued. “I think he’s gotta put them on notice that their inauguration will be a rhetorical, and when I mean civil disobedience, not violence, but it will be a bloodbath. The government will be shut down if they attempt to steal this and swear Hillary in. No, we will not stand for it. We will not stand for it.”

Ah ok understandable. Just Thought u meant perhaps that the 997 was not a good car

Why is that if i May ask?

This is how i think most feel about chess tbh .)

I play a lot of chess actually and only when i play more than usual do i get an idea of where im trying to go. Its part of the charm i think.

However i mostly play 3min games on chess.com (6min total so 3 min each) which i think makes it a very different game and more enjoyable (for me as im a restless soul). When i play longer games i find myself with way much more time on the clock left than my opponents which puts me at a disadvantage (self chosen but still).

I dont think he is dumb. I just think he does not care that what he and his lackeys say makes no sense as long as the message echos in the media. Its certainly working. Perhaps not always in a good way but to a lot of folks all they hear is fraud and thats what they are going to remember.

Dident comey say he thought the president (trump) had a higher than average intelligence or something to that effect back when that scandal took place.

Yeah but as a safe guard its not that weird its just that its beeing abused. All systems can be abused. The question is can you get away with it? This time i very much doubt it. Even if it where to make it to the supreme court i cant imagine they would rule in trumps favor if there were no more evidence than now (silch that is).

However if someone really did manage to rig an election its not a bad idea to have courts be able to nullify an election that was full of fraud.

The absurd part is he have no evidence and is just trying to move public opinion. I guess there should be a safe guard against that as well but he seem to be able to get away with things no other person would since even if no law noone in their right mind would try it the way he does as its so obvious bs and nothing more. But he have no morals so he got nothing to loose.

Some legal bloke on the news here said that perhaps pennsylvania legal battles could amount to something eventually (but unlikely in his opinion) but said that the cases in other states would likely not see the courts

Have no idea of how correct his opinon info was tho

Yes very much so. As the republican party right now without trump as their front man is looking at a long way back to power imo. Feels like a lot of those who are voting republican are voting for trump rather than a republican way of life. Sure a lot of those voting for democrats now are voting against trump but they seem to me to have a lot more voters that are inline with their politics.

And also the democratics base is much younger than the republican. If anything i would think 4 years with a democratic president will make 2024 even harder to win esp without a guy like trump who can almost shape the truth to whatever he wants or at least make it appear as this is the case.

If they also loose the senate this time and democrats keep the house which seems very likely there could be a long road back to power for republicans. Lets hope so anyways.

I had a suspicion that might have been the case ;)

I had to google that dallara x. Cool car. 200 hp should be more than enough in that. Sounds like a really nice project. If i had the know how to build cars i think i would not do much else .) My big interest in bikes comes from the fact that i think they can be so beautiful and perhaps cars even more so but bikes are cheaper to buy / maintain so it has remained my focus since im comfortable around them and with the cost they come with.. unlike cars (well or the ones ive had anyways).

I wish i had the know how to answer that for you but i have no idea.

I just know its the engine they offered in italy (since they had higher taxes on cars with bigger engines) when the Ghibli II was first launched. So the italian cars were almost all or perhaps exclusively even the 2.0 whilst the exports cars were 2.8 liter with slightly less HP actually at 286 so it deffinetly had bit more boost than the 2.8s.

However all cars bought in sweden for example were 2.8s but sold with a chip so likely had a bit more HP than the 2.0s and bit more grunt as well. I dont really know what hp my car has actually but it feels like around 300 or so. Pretty quick in a straight line when it has grip which is not all that often mind u.. Next season new wider tires alltho i rather enjoy the loose tail but its getting bit silly as well :)

Theres also a 2.0 biturbo engine making 304 HP. at the time i think it was the most HP per volume to date in a production car

Corticosteriods are for replacing or (increasing in this case) your cortisol levels.

It is the only hormone u will die from if yr body (adrenals) stop producing it.

If anything it eats muscle so its not anabolic by any means. It will however give u increased energy which is why its banned as a doping preparation.

There are lots of ppl on these n similar drugs that live ordinary lives so no need to be in a hospital. Perhaps they should not be given if u dont require hospitalization regarding covid use but thats another thing tho.

I dont think anabolics per say makes u aggresive but having yr hormones out of whack or increased 10fold certainly will have that effect on some.

That looks very star trek. I like it!

This 28 year old "white" interior isent looking to shabby but im guessing there werent a lot of kids eating icecream in it either.

Theres something about that Jag that is very wrong and at the same time very cool. Looks bit like a transam in the rear photo.

Thanks all!

Haha as much as i love Dammits car adventures i would never be able to afford it and i doubt i would do it even if i could. This car was bought "cheap" with the work it needed in mind. I think, tho time will tell, that it may be a car that is not all that crazy exensive to maintain and with a bit of luck the valuation of these will rise about the same as the cost of maintaining it. This is ofc far from something that i could bank on but its my reasoning behind giving it a shot. Well that and that i desperately wanted one for a couple of years and then suddenly one pops up for sale within 2 kms from where i live (theres only about 20 registered in sweden). It just felt like this was my do or die moment .) I had even considered going to greece and driving one up here when i saw the ad for this one.

Im exited for the pick up this time as i think it will now feel like its suppose to for the first time since ive owned it.

Ill get some new photos when i have picked it up.

Cheers!

Yeah i think its beautiful to. But i do miss having a car that feels up to some abuse. This is a car that kind of hurts to push so i drive it gentle. Granted this is a feeling that mostly lies within me. Perhaps that feeling will go away a bit now knowing its all fixed up and hopefully feels a bit tighter in the steering.

Picking this up from the shop after some fixes next week.

After about 3 years of ownership and a meager 2500 kms or similar i have racked up a bill of about 6500 gbp for fixing and maintaining it. Unless im forgettin something.

It would likely have been quite a bit cheaper if i had bought one in better condition to start with. Not that this was in poor condition but the previous owner had neglected getting the expensive things done as he likely just couldent afford it. Mainly the car needed to have the camchains and cogs changed. This is a service that is scheduled every 60000 kms by Maserati protocol and is a 24 hour job according to the book. So if one exclude this cost for which i paid something like 3800 gbp for it including parts it hasent really been crazy expensive. Unless one look at the cost per milage that is .) On the other hand almost all of the fixes i have now made i knew of before i bought it and factored in to the price so cant really complain about those.

So i (well the shop) fixed new camchains and cogs.
New belts all around (Some twice dont know if bad luck or if its eating them..)
new waterpump
Oil change and new filters twice.
New battery

And now when i pick it up it will have

new steering arm.
New bushing for the steering rod (common problem) and will make the cars steering feel poor and unprecise. Steering wheel will also rattle at least mine did.
New central looking motors.
New power windows as they were getting jammed halfway down before. Dont think they changed the motors only the "belts"

So hardly cheap thus far but considering i knew about half of these issues (and likely 80% of the fees involved) its not really been a money pit either.

Im thinking that it will now perhaps only need oil and filters for a couple of seasons and thats it. Likely something else will pop up but im hoping anyways .)

This year i dident get to drive it at all really which was a shame. I had covid over the summer and then ive mostly been in town and knowing the car needed some service i just took the bicycle instead as its not great fun to drive a car that keeps reminding u it need some fixes. But hopefully now on monday it will feel tight and nice again and with a bit of luck theres a weekend or 2 left in the season to take it out and away somewhere to enjoy it before putting it away for the winter.

Thats a cool bike. So are those dots painted on? I think on the original futura they were stickers.

Sold thanks

Go for it
