Air pressure for Gypsy King tyres...

Pran,

Diesel is prone to algae build up as well as moisture, in India problem is worse, dirty unmaintained tanks, diesel fuel contaminated with naptha and water make it a nightmare for your plungers and injectors.

eljefe,

I have Cecilia Bartoli as well as Kiri Te Kanawa CDs of Barber of Seville along with Domingo, you are welcome to come and hear it at my house on my Yamaha NS1000M speakers.

I will hear it on my cell phone speakers if it comes to that-thats what I'm reduced to.Dame Kiri no less
Major offer, much appreciated Django!
Whereabouts are you?

Any one knows the name / model of the machine gun used in the movie Django? the scene where Franco Nero pulls it out from the coffin and lets fly at the baddies? Cant for the life of me remember the kissin and mush Mack The Knife, but the coffin -wounded hands-machine gun climax is very vivid...

It was a Maxim machine gun, if I am not mistaken.

Had completely forgotten that and the wounded hands bit until you mentioned this. I now even recall that the machine gun was hand cranked. Blimey! That was about 37 years ago.

Yep, the machine gun was cranked and Franco Nero did a swell job.

I am in Punjab, I have a good collection of classical on Decca, Telarc etc. as well as rare Jazz releases on both CD and vinyl.

Mack The Knife,
Hand cranked-must have been the Gatling.
Worlds most 'prominently remembered' hand cranked machine gun-Had vertical feed hoppers.
MAxim came by later, in 1880's I think, belt fed.
Whatever, now I'm going to search for a copy-to see that MG again, and the mush-hope its wilder than what we see on TV? on an Indian TV channel...;)
Django- Maybe Bhakra in Oct?

Best
Axx

Spot on, Asif. The difference between the two is akin to chalk and cheese - must have had one of my usual f@rts. :roll:

Asif, not sure if you have heard Maria Callas sing but if you do see her CDs don't hesitate to buy them even if they are AAD recordings.

I am sorry about the recordings. I will go through the music sometime this week and ask a friend to do the needful.

Was unaware of the contamination that fuel's subject to before it reached our fuel tanks.

Actually compared to gas engines, diesels outlast them by miles, engines like the OM616 and HINO go over 500000 before needing a overhaul, sadly poor maintenance by owners gave diesel a bad rep.

Callas is very good, ever heard Freddie Mercury and Callas, Queen at Opera.

Can't say I have, Django. Do you by any chance mean Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballe? Barcelona being their most well know duet.

Mack The Knife,

I have the Monserrat Caballe as well as Barcelona, Callas was a rare project, early days of Freddie if I am not mistaken.

It's probably priceless. Could you take a pic of the cover and e-mail it to me please.

Thanks.
