Hi All, I have noticed some gaps around my headlight area and wondering if i should get it fixed or could leave it as it is. As i am planning a drive up north this weekend i am wondering if it will make things worse with high speed. Pictures are: http://imgur.com/a/uCcri

http://www.theage.com.au/world/penis-prank...0608-1frml.html England has the Cerne Abbas giant and the Uffington White Horse, Peru has the Nazca Lines and now a Waikato school, rather unfortunately, has been captured with its own aerial art - six giant phallic symbols. The prank at a Hamilton school has been caught by satellite and immortalised on an internet map potentially seen by millions around the world, stuff.co.nz reports. The satellite picture, taken in May 2009, shows six phallic shapes etched into the grass at Fairfield College, with two by the car park particularly gigantic.

The Fairfield phalluses would no doubt have eventually passed into the twilight of sniggering schoolboy folklore had they not been snapped from space and used to compile the Google map used by millions of web browsers daily. David McQuoid was searching for a property when he came across the surprising snaps. "At first I thought it was a large piece of art work." But acting principal Gerhard van Dyk was not amused and said he would like to have caught the culprits. Unfortunately, the incident had happened on a weekend. By Monday, Mr van Dyk said the caretaker became aware of some of the grass dying, as the x-rated crop circles popped up around the school. It was the prank that kept growing as the grass completely died away and the crude creations of the "artists" were revealed. "There's not really much we could do about it," he said. "The caretaker took some more weedkiller and tried to camouflage it a bit." The rest of the grass was killed, but it was a few months before the rude renderings disappeared. But by then an eye in the sky had snapped these images - which the Times has chosen to cover. Mr van Dyk said he would contact Google. A spokesperson for the internet giant said the Earth images came directly from satellite pictures, unlike the Google Street View shots, which could be blurred for privacy reasons. Netsafe executive director Martin Cocker said he had heard about similar instances of people trying to find infamy but things hung around a lot longer on the web.

Last serviced 3 weeks ago and today when i inspect the tyre, saw some metal wires protruding out.. Company van btw. So should trust workshop or my inspection?

Watch this video. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/780996/bare_...sh/&source/ As he has described, it only works with water. Not beer or even carbonated water. It is not a shockwave but serious cavitation. Imagine you have 100% water as engine coolant. The combustion is contained in the combustion chamber but some of this force resonates outwards. The difference between the engine and that glass bottle is that glass is more brittle. Small amounts of this vacuum is formed (cavitation) and then the liquid (water) comes back together producing this immense shockwave. The interior lining is not 100% cast iron but a protective coating. Get this cavitation whacking it, I guarantee you serious engine issues. So why does it need 50/50 antifreeze/water? Answer is above. It works with water only. Not beer or carbonated water. What do these have that is different with water? Gas. But 50/50 coolant does not have gas. Something is at work here. Viscosity. 50/50 coolant is thicker than pure water just enough to prevent cavitation. I was inspired by Time Warp at Discovery. Here is their explanation of the phenomenon. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/time-warp/arti...eer-bottle.html I now translate this phenomenon for engine use. You should have seen the Time Warp episode on it. The high speed camera going at hundreds of frames/second captured the bubbles forming out just before the bottle's bottom gave way. Absolutely fascinating!

Dear Mcf brothers, After polish and wax my car with soff99, i still find visible stain of water spot, what steps can i take to remove it? will claybar help?
