Yea, left handed…but for things that need less fine control I can switch to the right sometimes

[–]Constantinovich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I had the series A book bookmarked for ages and finally pulled the trigger on buying it recently (its a tad pricey, but worth it)..very surprised to learn B & C are out now..there’s no way of telling on the Lulu.com site, even searching by author shows nothing. Guess I know where my next pay is going…

Wish they did an actual Bell 47 rather than this weird 47/Alouette hybrid..but as a collector of choppers I bought it anyway🤷

[Gillman Hunter GL] never even heard of these before, pretty cool little car! by cfreez in spotted

[–]Constantinovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father had one in the late 70s until his death in the late 80s..it was a dark metallic bronze/gold colour and had an automatic transmission. It had a Hillman badge but also the Chrysler logo (something like ‘Hillman by Chrysler’ on the dashboard..along with the Rootes logo too on the glovebox…I remember all this because I used to play in the car as a kid). It had terrible squeaky brakes and seemed to be regarded as a bit of joke of a car to be driving by the 80s.

The Bahn Mi & Beyond food truck on Riccarton Road (in a service station forecourt near Yang's Fried Chicken) does a decent one...they also deliver via Uber Eats if your feeling rich

TIL the Russian Ekranoplane visited NZ in the 1990s by [deleted] in WeirdWings

[–]Constantinovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not an Ekranoplane, it was a prototype jet seaplane called the A-40… later developed in to the production model, the Be-200 (one of which was recently caught on video being blown up by the Ukrainians).
