    No sense of adventure:D

    Sleeve valve engines actually have fewer moving parts than conventional poppet valve engines… So a Saber is actually easier to work on that 2 V12 Ferraris 😉

    Indeed there isn’t. I am sure that their constitutional right to bear arms is a great consolation to those parents wondering what to do with the presents they lovingly bought for their six year old kids that are now bloodied corpses, cold in the ground on Christmas Day.

    We know there is nothing we can do to help your society grow up, that’s what’s so frustrating for us. You’ll just have to forgive us for our concern.

    There really is nothing liberal in wanting children and innocent adults not to die prematurely from gunshot wounds.

    You’re confusing the UK def of liberal with the US version. They are about as opposite as it’s possible to get. In the US liberal is taken to mean someone who wants the Govt to control every aspect of peoples lives, taxing success to the point of causing a recession, unemployment to be cured by the Govt hiring more people to work for them (leading to more taxes to pay for them), never ending welfare checks, govt pensions, education for anyone including college for people who can’t read or write (seen this myself), No concern over the debt problem in the US which are currently in excess of $85Trillion when unfunded govt worker pensions are included, not the $16Trillion the media talks about etc etc.
    No resemblance to the UK definition at all.

    C/D. Warren, Just a thought, I wonder if ANY or any mass or singular shootings, have been carried out by a Member of the NRA?, and, are all their members vetted prior to obtaining membership of said organisation?,to make sure they are squeaky clean,

    No NRA members that I am aware of. Membership is open to anyone, ownership of a firearm isn’t a requirement. I signed up one time for 5 years but didn’t renew it owing to the amount of junk mail they sent out. The first of which arrived within 2 days of joining asking me to renew for a longer period.

    And there we have it, from a man who admits having several firearms, who at the time of posting freely, he is, quote “A little Buzzed” which I take it to mean,*****d.

    Jim.
    Lincoln .7

    Not sure what the problem is with him admitting he’s put a few away? I have been known to imbibe a few & I own a few cars & guns. Doesn’t mean I mix booze & firearms any more than I mix booze & driving.
    At this point no one has suggested a BAC limit for posting on the internet 😉

    The stuff for my Krag is only slightly more expensive than .303.

    I was just pointing out the absurdity of people who only give a damn about deaths if they happen to people who “look like them”. We have Obumble going off about gun control while his administration has been illegally smuggling guns to the Mexican drug cartels & no one seems to give a flying fudge about it.

    Not sure yet, he hasn’t mentioned any specifics. Mate of mine here in LA has one of his 4 cylinder H2 *triples*

    The only advice I can offer about Sabers is this:

    Do NOT! under ANY circumstances! look at ones that’s been sectioned!!. I did once & immediately suffered an almost overwhelming urge to weld my toolbox shut & throw it in the nearest canal.

    What I am getting at, is that Mexico, has had gun ownership taken away, which was immediately replaced by the freedom to purchase knives, both killing machines in their own right, but only able to kill perhaps one or two folks at a time,with a knife.
    Good Post from you by the way. 🙂

    Death by firearm in Mexico makes the figures for the US pale into insignificance. Good thing they banned guns 😉
