Which one did you go for Taz? Was that including the head?

I bought a 190 PROB with 486RC2 head from T4 cameras,

May I ask why such a long exposure time is needed? all sorts of problems occur with long exposures and it is something of a black art. I've recently spent

I have a skoda fit car kit, it's not bluetooth and to be honest its pretty poor, above 40mph no-one can hear me, there is a lot of feedback if turned up to hear it, the make I have is Elan.
Anyone else have problems or could it be the phone, carpy old Nokia 6310i

And i should have thought "someone might put a fuc'in 6ft fishing pole through the letter box and manage to hook them" heres hoping i am not around when you make an inocent mistake
:mad: :mad:
Welcome to Briskoda, make a mistake and they come for miles to kick ya, it used to be a forum about Skoda cars and the joys of ownership

There is one of these in London close to the QEII conference centre, not high rise but same principal.

I had the privelege of collecting the first BMW E30 (1994) into the UK for a customer, it was delivered to a dealer in Bristol from were I collected it and drove it back to Lancashire, on that model it was a simple case of pulling a plug on the diff case. Customer collected and it had 10 miles on the clock.
Dont beleive the reading from the dealer, the car could have been anywhere

Years ago I worked as a valeter at a local Merc dealers at weekends during my college days. Cars went missing on many occasions for various reasons.
One very common occurence was customers coming back for a serviced vehicle with a spare set of keys and simply driving off in their own car without paying the bill, mainly travelling folk never to be seen again.

In the spirit of all the physics questions being bandied around at the moment, could you please explain how the water shoots up the windscreen at 100mph when you are only travelling at an indicated 70mph and there is no headwind?
It contains a new type of "dark matter" which has special static electricity properties which are attracted to the clouds from were the water drops came from, thus it travels up the screen, but only when the car is in motion and in a state to generate static, at standstill the water drops fall down the screen in a normal fashion.

Approx 400kgs and with that tank size there will be spare room so it will slosh around making matters worse if it is in a vehicle.

On the forum I got this off, someone initially maintained it would not fly and then finally clicked the right answer by giving the (relevant) example of "...a toy car on a record player turntable. Hold the car with your hand; you can easily push it forwards and backwards. Then switch the turntable on....you can stilll move the car forwards and backwards just as easily"
Then a few post down he changed his mind again, saying "Hang on I was wrong before - there is NO WAY you could move the car against the direction of the turntable!!!"
:confused:
I am staying in the will fly camp.

This is just what I needed for a Friday afternoon.
KentStu is correct, it would fly
Initially as the turbines generated thrust the plane would attempt to move forward and the belt would counteract the motion of the wheels and try to keep the plane still. However, as the turbines accelerate and forward thrust develops against the air the plane would accelerate forward irrespective of what its wheels or the ground below it were doing.
So I retract my earlier answer and say it will fly........well for the next few mins until I jump ship again.

A plane on a treadmill or car on a rolling road is not accelerating, only its wheels are, the mass of the vehicle is stationary in respect to the air around it.
No airflow over wings equals no lift.... period
-
Next time one of you takes a trip to a rolling road take a pair of wings.
A small aircraft ie Cessna takes off at around 65mph so bolt on the wings, have the RR power the wheels, have the car power the wheels, which ever way you do it, it will not take off (unless the engine cooling fan generates enough airflow....hmmm)
So NO it will not fly

I work in the dental industry, companies are always looking for installation and service engineers, not bad money and plenty of training.

HaHa I cocked up my figures and quickly realised what I had done.......
Think we both should have a beer to celebrate:cheers:

Aristarchus around 270 BC derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse.
It was commonly accepted in those days that the Earth was a sphere (although its size was only calculated a few years later, by Eratosthenes ). Astronomers also believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that Sun, Moon, planets and stars all orbited around it. It was only natural, then, that Aristarchus assumed that the Moon moved in a large circle around Earth.
Let R be the radius of that circle and T the time it takes the Moon to go around once, about one month. In that time the Moon covers a distance of 2 πR, where π~ 3.1415926... ,
An eclipse of the Moon occurs when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, on the opposite side from the Sun (therefore, it must be a full Moon). If r is the radius of the Earth, the shadow's width is close to 2r. Let t be the time it takes the mid-point of the Moon to cross the center of the shadow, about 3 hours (in eclipses of the longest duration, when the Moon crosses the center of the shadow).
If the Moon moves around Earth at a constant speed--and it takes time T to cover 2π R ~ 6.28R, and time t to cover 2r--then
6.28 R / 2 r = T/t
From this we can obtained
R/r ~ 60
which fits the average distance of the Moon accepted today, 60 Earth radii.
So to answer the delay question, radius of earth approx 6380Km ans radio waves travel approx 300,000Km/s a delay of around 1.2 secs I would have thought.
I now have a headache and need beer.

He is not the "first" I remember someone was prosecuted on the M60 last year for the same thing.
