When I was in my teens, I used to travel the UK with my friend in his little Mercedes flat-back truck. It had no sleeping compartment -unless you count the seats and the floor!

He heard my complaining to my wife about shifting and he came over and explained to me that you only Depress The Clutch Pedal when you are in the Proper RPM Range and then only about 1/4 or Two Inches down and shift before your RPM's drop to much. If your drop the clutch to the floor board then your RPM's have time to drop and you'll have trouble getting in the gear. I found this to work GREAT! As a matter of fact I'd run the RPM's up just a little over and shift just as I removed my foot from the Throttle Pedal With Out The Clutch! The only time I ever really had to use the clutch was in the city, I could hit an off ramp and down shift to the stop sign or red light without ever using the clutch. Of course in the Mountains and steep grades with a different matter, I'd engage my Jake Brake (engine brake) as soon as I hit the hills and mountains or major traffic on interstates and highways. Using the jake Brake cause the engine to lose RPM's so quickly I had to use the clutch. Driving a lorry Truck would stange to me, Looking right out over the windshield to the ground.

We really don't have any bed area pictures of our truck, my wife took the pictures and that area was off limits for pictures. Our's actually looked very similar to this picture, except our top blanker wasn't Red. Here is another picture of the same sleeper, yes we had my Coffee Maker and my wife had her Tea Maker and Rice Cooker, refrigerator and microwave. Our truck had an APU (auxiliary power unit) on it for 110 volts, plus it ran our A/C or Heater at night without having to idle our engine 24/7 on the road. The APU unit was a small diesel two cylinder generator. So yes, we had standard AC outlets in the sleeper for plugging in appliances. You can imagine staying and living in this for 30 to 40 days a time before coming home to take some time off. You Wash Clothes and Take Showers at Truck Stops and stop at a walmart or other shopping center like a Winnco to buy what you need, food to cook in your Microwave and Drinks and Vegetable, Fruits and anything else you may need. Under the bed was a large storage area, plus you can see the size of the refrigerator/freezer there at the right of the picture. That black object in the picture on the left is where our Microwave was and that pullout you see under it was a table. RE: Current Electric Cars - BIAD - 08-18-2018 Remember the ooh-aah about electric cars and Elon Musk's determination to drag the world away from Big Oil? Maybe we can cast our minds back to the time when the mainstream media were falling over each other to explain how London and the surrounding wastelands of the UK would become of an island of silent, clean-air drivers with smiling Arabs all happy to see us not using their only product. With the recent revelations from Japan in regards of Nissan falsifying data about exhaust emissions and the many other car companies also failing to live-up to the hype about enviroment-friendly vehicles, the idea of an electric car seemed strange to those -here on Rogue Nation, who pondered on the logistics of it all. Maybe it was all a media campaign to promote a company on the Stock Exchange or maybe it was all true and the Jetsons lifestyle was just around the corner. But unless you've got the cash and are willing to wait for your electric car, such a dream is just that. Quote:Tesla sheds $US5.4 billion after Elon Musk admits job stress getting to him.ABC.net: RE: Current Electric Cars - BIAD - 11-10-2018 If one recalls, there was never any mention in previous posts regarding electric cars in the UK being subsidised by the Government and that was due to focusing on only one facet of the situation at a time. Important questions needed to be asked by Journalists in order to understand the impact on the fuel consumers, but instead we were given the 'Jetsons' -version. Lets not talk about the cost from interested Government sectors or how car companies will be forced into changing their practices. Nope, money -like electricity, grows on trees. 'Would electric cars be a good idea around major (London) cities?' Why yes, reliance on fluctuating and controlled oil markets would give way to electricity and since it's free and hangs off trees, the cost of running a vehicle would drastically drop. A consumer will now be able to save a dolphin as they potter through the countryside and know that his pennies are being saved. 'Will the logistics of charging on a busy street in the Cairngorms or the Lake District be an easy act to implement?' Sure, places around London Great Britain -where Elon Musk doesn't live, will just simply have electric -charging facilities instead of those nasty gas-pumps where a customer can crack a nail during filling up their tank on the way to the opera. Please believe us and your hover-board is in the mail. Please note: We -the MSM, will now focus on hybrid vehicles and quietly move away from what we were originally implying. *Television shows white-noise for a moment and then reality appears on the screen* Quote:Government-subsidised plug-in cars may never have been charged.SOURCE: '...When presented with The Miles Consultancy's findings, a Department for Transport spokesperson said the government believed plug-in hybrids "bring significant environmental benefits", but would "now focus its support on zero emission models like pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars"...' And Boris Johnson's brother -Jo, resigns as Transport Minister. Another case of public funds being used to build-up certain companies and then reap the 'Thank You' rewards for service. And all the while, the mainstream media went along with the Jetson narrative. Again, use your perspective in this reality. London is an expensive place to live and up to the point that salaries in the capital are generally higher than the rest of the country because of it living costs. Would you resign a well-paid position in Government over point of view (Brexit) and be able to exist as unemployed in such an expensive area? Or would it be that you were confident that you had a fall-back plan that would assure income? This is what happens with most projects, money is thrown at it and in many cases, it's a failure. But only on the face of it. Large amounts of public money have been used to enhance these companies and later, it's found that those who're an integral part of benefiting these firms, end-up on the boards of these companies. ............................................... A similar situation is ongoing regarding the recent Cannabis-oil fiasco in the UK. A story appeared where an Irish mother and her son who suffers with epilepsy, brought in the heavily-controlled medicine that is suggested alleviates some seizures. The story isn't presented with all its facts -as Ms. Cauldwell the mother, is a Director for the company that sells 'Billy's Bud' cannabis-oil in Ireland. What also isn't mentioned is the fact that through this misleading story, the UK Government changed their laws on the medical use of a particular style (Cannabidiol) due to the uproar when Ms. Cauldwell suddenly appeared at Heathrow airport with her son's medicine purchased from Canada. What all the Journalists were doing there for her explanation of how Customs had refused her the oil -was never revealed. And the connection...?

But this unfair statistic is solely based on the finished product and not the acquisition of the materials to construct the main component, the battery. RE: Current Electric Cars - Ninurta - 07-20-2019 (07-19-2019, 04:00 PM)BIAD Wrote: Someone else gets it. "Someone else gets it"? You have a talent for understatement - he's a freaking genius! When 'lectrics were first discussed here in the US, the consensus amongst us freedom-loving folk was that they were designed to implement population control by concentrating people in the cities. When your transport has such limited range before needing a cumbersome recharge, you are necessarily limited to a small radius of travel. That would be a situation ideally suited to They Who are Above This (T.W.A.T) who want to concentrate people in urban areas for the control that provides. When you have a country of mostly Urbanites, you can control their lives from cradle to grave by controlling their energy consumption, and even their food consumption. Is the populace getting out of hand? Just cut off their lights, their water, and their food - an easy thing to do with a concentrated urban population. Flip a switch, the city goes dark, water stops flowing from the tap, chaos ensues. Block deliveries to grocery stores, and hungry, thirsty people will do pretty much whatever you say to get their belly full. At that point, you OWN them, the same as any plantation master of old. A few years ago, we moved from Kansas City to here. We had a single pickup truck, piled everything we had gathered on to it, filled it up with gasoline, and took off. 19 hours later, after a couple of 10 minute fuel stops, we were here. I just drove straight through, half way across the nation, and only stopped for gas. Had I been forced to do that in a 'lectric, the time factor would have drastically increased. As far as I know, there are no 10 minute stops to recharge your vehicle with electricity. If I were limited to a 'lectric, I'd rather have used horses - fuel for them is EVERYWHERE! Just today, we drove 120 miles (round trip) just to go to a decent steak house. We did it in a gas-guzzlin' Jeep. It's an older model Jeep, made the year before they made the last real Jeeps, and is known far and wide to be able to climb trees when modern Jeeps can't even get out of bed... but that comes at a price, and that price is being able to consume great quantities of gasoline. The 'lectric hasn't been made that can do what my Jeep can. If you can show me one that can, I will eat this Jeep starting with the bumper, and not stop until the tailpipe is digested. Mobility is freedom, and curtailing folks' ability to be mobile is control... and that is what this "Great Green 'Lectric Revolution" is all about. They give not a rat's ass about "the environment" - that is just opium for the masses - it's ALL about their ability to control the population. "Climate Change" ( I started to type "Global Warming" before I recalled that excuse has been shot down in flames) is just a population control measure so that They Who are Above This (T.W.A.T) can get most if not all humans corralled into controlled cities. The 04-2019 issue of "National Geographic" magazine is entitled "Cities", and subtitled "Ideas for a Brighter Future". I picked up a copy, read through it, and was utterly amazed at what they are trying to convince unthinking people can be done. It can't. Not as presented. They had visions of self-reliant cities, compact and concentrated, but which can somehow generate their own needs - food for example. Do you realize how much space is required to feed a SINGLE family for a year? That amount of space is not, and cannot be made, available in an urban environment... especially not a "concentrated population" urban environment. Multiply that space by a million or so, and you begin to see the infeasability of their pipe dreams. That is just ONE example of the point where the plans break down. There are dozens more, but an unthinking population will fail to evaluate the threat they are willingly walking into for convenience's sake. An urban kid was asked some years ago if he knew where his hamburger came from. His immediate reply was "the grocery store, of course!", and he had no idea of what went into the production of a quarter pound hamburger, or where or how that was accomplished - he just thought it magically appeared at "the grocery store, of course!". And so it goes as the sheep are led to slaughter. The new James Bond flick he mentioned blew my mind. 007 laid low by PC? Cock-blocked by a mere feminist? The Bond I recall would never have stood still for such an outrage! Let's hope his fandom will not, either - else they just get what they deserve! If it does not contain a scene where Daniel Craig marches up to "M" and demands that his number be retired or else he will kill every living thing within 40 km of where he stands, then the movie is a failure, right out of the gate, and a betrayal of all things Bond. Ian Fleming will be spinning like a top. ETA: I nearly forgot. Batteries. I know a man, personally, who yet lives, who was involved in classified R+D in the late 1970's of a battery. He said they developed a battery, the size of an automobile battery, that could power the city of Cleveland, OH (population at that time around 750,000) for 4 years. The entire city. 4 years. I wonder why we never heard of that battery since? I wonder why they can't put something like that in 'Lectrics to increase their range? things that make you go "hmmmm..." . RE: Current Electric Cars - BIAD - 07-20-2019 Electric Cars: I cannot add anything that would improve the above statements, right on the money. 'Jane Bond': This trick of 'anger-gossip-makes-good-advertising' by the movie companies will only come back to bite them on the asses. They perceive their audiences as fickle and believe that catering for a minority -a group who just want a win -not a change, will sustain their industry. The audiences are already dwindling, damaging established character-roles is a stupid move and drives possible box-office money further away. It's a ring-and-run manoeuvre, the blue-haired kids of today who're forcing this will be the parents of tomorrow and as they mentally develop, their views will change and the constant degrading of males, the push to advertise same-sex relationships and the idea that emotions are the driving-force of first-world countries, will ensure that these older 'revolutionaries' will refuse to take their kids to the cinema. (Another facet of family values down the f*ckin' drain.) Nothing has really changed, Trump is Captain Hook to these current outraged 'Lost Boys', Bush had the role as well as Nixon. The only difference is that these idiots in the movie business will be out on their ear quicker than usual, when the wind changes again.
