could touch 100 mph at full tilt! A driver(?) and 2 passengers rode
snowmobile-fashion in the open air behind a four cylinder motor of
850cc (or 1100cc) mounted between the front wheels (Front Drive).
The single rear wheel of this three-wheeler was under the last person.
The (minimal) body was of fibreglass over a steel frame. The motor
was exposed, hot-rod style and the occupants were advised to wear
helmets.
A Brighton (UK) company called Noovah Developments sold the Scorcher
as a kit for $625. It could becarried home on a normal roofrack for
home assembly. Only 30 Scorchers were made in four years of production,
and today an example is worth a small fortune.

The oddest aspect I find about the whole subject of religion is the large number who use the word "God" as a name?!
To a/the deity, surely the use of what is purely a CATEGORY as a name must be a insult!
For instance, one would not address Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England, as "Queen"?!
If one asks, what is the Name then?- thinking to be funny or original
...THAT is NOT original since Moses; the fugitive from Eqypt, asked that long ago!!
The answer is a word not normally used by members of the Judaist Faith, due to superstition, but it certainly is NOT the word "God"!
(If you want THIS name, look up a GOOD Dictionary, after the word "yahoo")
As long as you go off-topic get SOME of your facts
right!
The Hiddenberg was, as were all Zepplins, of Rigid
construction!
Rigids have self-supporting structure, with separate
internal gasbags!
The Goodyear Blimp is, as is common with Blimps, a
pressure-supported shaped flying gasbag!
Between these two types, there is the Semi-Rigid;
which has usually a rigid keel structure preventing
it from being classed as a blimp!
----Even in the Thirties, the extra safety-factor
of using Helium was recognized. The US had an
embargo on the export of this gas to Germany largely
because it disaproved of Nazi politics.
----Helium supported Airships also came to grief!
The British R-101, and the American Akron and
Macon, to name just three.
----The early US Rigids came direct from Germany,
as the spoils of war after WW1. In US operation
they were converted to Helium lift.
If they were looking for a pattern...
such as many pictures with the same bit-size
then I could raise merry hell!
I have a Directory on my HD called "20542",
which contains 15 1bit (mono) graphic files
that I collected and stored here, simply
because they are ALL 20542 bits in size!
Now, If I Posted THESE on-line I wonder
what could ensue?
Hasn't ANYONE thought that...
the images of Osama bin Laden that have appeared
on the News could be combined to indicate where
his followers should strike next?
Or, if animated, may do nothing more than
mime the words "*uck you, *ankee *ogs"?
Note - not my intention to offend, but simply
raise comment!

I guess the game wouldn't go down well there either!
From what I read; it was the Rape-Murder bit in
GTA3 that didn't click with the powers-that-be!
I seem to remember a game in the 8bit era called
Custer's Revenge that caused a lot of upset in the
US because of IT'S Rape content, as well!
Well, maybe Rape is to be encourged in the US now-a-days??
I saw Sputnik1 when the Russians first orbited an

On one of the first Space Shuttle flights, the US
craft was a really brilliant sight reflecting
sunlight off its delta profile.
BTW- Sputnk1 was qute small, compared to susceding
orbiting objects!

Some are thinking (quietly) that if the AmigaOne
hardware is brought to market- that other OSes,
besides AmigaOS4, 4.2, 5+, will run on it!
The "quietly" is because MacOSes *may* be among the
'other' OSes!
Of the hardware, Merlancia's has the highest
