    Since stiffness is generally recognised as the product of the member's young's modulus (pascal or N/m^2) and its second moment of inertia (m^4) one may postulate that the resulting SI unit is Nm^2 (newton square metres) but that's a mouthful so I agree, let's just stick with "a bunch"

    Wondering how many young people will even know what the series title refers to: Bargain Basement. There aren't many bargain basement sales any more. I went to one when I was young, maybe around 1970~ish. It was in the basement of Sears. That's how we could afford a washer & dryer. They were "scratch & dent" sales! 😅

    I hate those fire extinguisher systems. Once a marshall set off mine as we were waiting in the pit lane. He wanted to test the battery switch off, but instead grabbed the one for the extinguisher. I mean, what the fuck? It wasnt even his job! It was a complete shitshow. The race about to start, and now I am in a soaked suit within a car full of foam. I couldnt see anything. The race started and I continued to participate. You spend all your money into this weekend, so you dont want to miss it. I was so angry at him, that I drove like the last mad men on earth. Won my class. After the race (2 hours endurance race) I was still angry and he was lucky he didnt move my way. All of the other drivers made jokes. Good times.

    I once worked on a Cooper S in 1970 as an apprentice mechanic. The engine was built and sealed by a "firm" in Blackpool. It was driven by Iain Tweedy in the British RAC rally. I got a go in it with a temporary 850 engine in it and brakes as hard as a whores heart. Still loved it. It was Scotland blue with a Saltire on the roof. I can still remember it clear as a bell.
