para u mean the Burj Al Arab?

BURJ-AL-ARAB.jpg

its really a long way away from the airport so they should have built it closer to town. maybe its closer to snobsville (if there is such a thing over there)

best it could do was this:

I was there in January and two things really blew me away.

1. Get busted doing 280ks an hour on the highway and you get a small fine and told to be on your way.

2. look closely at the photo and you can see a waterslide park across from the hotel. Some of the hottest Russian chicks I've eva seen push you in a rubber tube down the different slides. It's really cool !!!

Sorry for the off topic but is it expensive to go to Dubai?

Use it as a stopover with Emirates en route to Europe and it doesnt cost anything extra. Europe return flights out of oz are between $1700-$2000 and increase a bit more for certain seasons/times.

Go to the Emirates website as they fly straight there from Melbourne in one leg.

Dave: That's the area in Verona yeah?

I've been there :P

Anyhoo - more looking around (mainly for cool 'vehicles') and I found an SR-71 on the deck of a carrier! Plus the Space Shuttle and some Saturn 5 rockets!

This is the coolest toy ever.

Rome - Collesseum. Reso not goot enough to see all the stray cats that live in there these days.

Some nice finds there James!

I'll be there on May 1st (the water park). Now I'm even more excited! I'm stopping off for 2 days on the way home from Germany just to go to this water park.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
