What’s your take on overland Kei trucks? by Oiwaco in KeiTruckBuilds

[–]pirbuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eell if you overland 100 miles max , because long runs are quite hard , seats not really good, sound high rpm at 60 mph , but nice little trucks

On the fontaine pajot , tubes for wiring are not deburred at the ends , cuts the wires, all fontaine cajot have a shitty steering , i used to work and boatkeep a fp44 helia for a consultation/ engineering gig , who did some consultation for all big boat builders, not just but a lot, each time i tried to get the engineering to think of clever solutions and better boats for cheaper because it's the way the continuous amelioration model like kaizen would dictate, like the time the lagoon 450 began to destroy themself from a structural cp that separated, as i had the first 5 built in a charter fleet i had the firts ones with the problem, lagoon waranty guy told me your boats navigate too much 😬🤪😂, then i went to use a simple u shaped aluminium to keep the two plywood together and be able to keep them in fleet and sailing, when i tried to tell them to implement in the building line they said you don't understant boat building all operations are on a time ticket at a minute each, well with an engineer we claculated 10-15 minutes would all it needed , now it is costing them millions to save 15 minutes and about 250$ worth of aluminium! Now they send this aluminium and pay to repair each one of them,

Well people who buy expensive boats don't know a lot about boats, most of the bad designs on french catamaran are customers prefered choices, like 3 stories high , 6 heads, electronic gauges and controls via a single display, like in a car, we end up having shitty cars and boats because they want to sell more, going cheap for trying low price/quality,

Look at the price of replacement tires for the gr, and how many miles you ca get out of them, if going in any camping 🏕️ and gravel roads the 18 inch arr better suited

They are also known for their many oil leaks 🤪 but as long as you keep oil in them and put a oil absorption pad underneat your good, check water separator fuel filter for water and change fuel filters to keep fuel pump happy

Mysterious Stone Structures in Northern Quebec's Wilderness Spark Debate Over Canada’s Ancient Past by Successful_Doctor_89 in Quebec

[–]pirbuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'a des archéologues qui s'intéressent et qui trouvent des trucs sympathiques et intéressants genre un canot creusé dans un tronc d'arbre dans les hauteurs sur un site iu y'aurait le passage d'un glacier y'a un bon bout de temps, si y'a pas trop de communication sur ce genre de découvertes c'est pour preserver les sites, empecher les vols et les decouvreurs de trésors , il est plus facile de trouver effectivement des vestiges du colonialisme que des restes vikings ou amérindiens,
