    Anyone got a suggestions for cutting 6-8mm thick perspex

    There are two varieties of acrylic, cast and extruded. Cast Acrylic is more forgiving and less prone to cracking, extruded acrylic is more accurate but has a lot of inbuilt stresses. The best way to cut Acrylic is with a laser cutter which doesn't have to cost a fortune and would be worthwhile...

    As teenagers would often respond "Whatever" Be as pedantic as you like, I'm done here.

    I think we will agree to disagree on this for the sake of other members on the forum. J

    Agreed but you seem to carry on. Basic understanding air goes into the engine, oxygen from that air is removed and the resultant gases from combustion emitted from the exhaust. The amount of oxygen in the exhaust substantially reduced from the amount taken in by the engine. It doesnt take long...

    So you’d be up for a demonstration would you, exhaust into the car through window and let it idle for an hour with you in there? Note, I’m not seriously suggesting you do, I know it would kill you.

    Do you not notice a complete lack of Oxygen in there? Oxygen is the gas that supports life and makes up 20.95% of the air that we breath. The largest part of most combustion gas is nitrogen (N2), water vapor (H2O) (except with pure-carbon fuels), and carbon dioxide (CO2) (except for fuels...

    Please understand, air is not emitted from an exhaust pipe.

    Absolute rubbish, the exhaust from diesel or petrol car will kill you.

    Thats often said but is complete rubbish. Dont believe me? close your garage doors, run this engine and stay in there for an hour, you will see the result. Absolutely.

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    Absolutely correct but it does help to stop it if youre infected therefore reducing the time that you spread the virus.

    Well done that man, I feel its a very positive public spirited thing to do, it gets more intensive medical care for me and provides a useful lab rat for the researchers leading to better pharmaceutical products for everyone.

    I had my flu jab booked when I was invited to take part in the trial so cancelled, if it had been 1 week later it would have been too late. I've been impressed with all of the trials I've been involved with so far, care, attention, detail etc, the money isnt too bad in most cases either along...

    Important you should note your words 'may' be due to it. I'm taking part in trials of the Moderna mRNA flu vaccine, just last week. I dont know if I received the trial vaccine or an established one (double blind trial) but theyre monitoring very closely over the next 7 days. You are of course...

    Yep, agreed. Our MG5, new in Sept 23 has a guaranteed minimum value of £16,500 at 4 years old and 24,000 miles. Clearly, especially as theyre available brand new for £19k, thats not going to happen. I have had a conversation with the PCP finance company and with the dealer and they confirmed we...

    Aye, engines kicking back could be painful, I had a Triumph Bonneville that had manual advance/retard on the magneto, you only ever forgot once to retard it when kick starting, the pain through your leg was amazing when it kicked back.

    But Lons said 'in slow moving traffic' which suggests to me stop for a couple of seconds and then move off again.
