Air again

Those figures look pretty good, however your basing them on Chinese specs written on the box which mean bugger all. I've seen that compressor and it's got the same compresor mounted to the tank that I had under the bonnet before the Blue Tounge. It's Crap basically. Those figures only count (if that) when the compressor is cold, as soon as it's done a little work it SLOWS RIGHT DOWN. I went through two of them (they crapped themselves) before I chucked it in the bin, kissed my money goodbye and then went and bought a decent brand compressor.

I have a 24L 240V air compressor in the garage and when it's charged to 120psi it barley get's my 31x10.5xR15's from 30psi to 42psi without having the crank the compressor up and start recharging the tank (at about 70psi it kicks in). Even @ 70psi the infalation rate (equalising of the tank and tyre) is very slow.

ie, I'd leave it on the shelf.

Shouldn't you be working so the old fella can be on holidays?

Ruth,
he is on holidays, they are somewhere on the NSW north coast but on his way home, some committment in melbourne bringing him home early next week.
Believe me, I have been working but if you note the post time of 22:22, I do try to knock off before 19:00 at the moment.
I think they have had a good break this time catching up with EO and other friends, weren't you mean't to be visiting some time???
see ya,

Yes it was lovely to see them - albeit briefly, but both of them were sick as - with the lurgy -hopefully, the warm sea air in Mackay has made them well again. You are a good boy, Nick, to work such long hours to enable your father to play at his 'other' job in Melbourne!!!! (My other life was in the same business!!!)
