Sub it out to Russsia then in return for arms
They made a diesel M/ c in India years ago think they used a briggs and Stratton generator engine
Or a robins engine
Met a bloke from Switzerland who was touring around Europe / UK and he had a diesel bike powered by a diesel Builders (?) wacker plate engine
Did about 55 flat out and some ridicolous mpg figures 100 to the gallon plus

a page or two of pertinent content relating to the subject would be a whole lot readable that 34 pages of (presumably grown men) off to tell mammy someone is being rude to them

I am intrigued by what this means. Bearing in mind the long history of the Rothschild name being invoked by anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists. I know I have a habit of upsetting you, so I have hesitated about posting this. But my curiosity has got the better of me.

yes, Royal Enfield are excellent bikes, a lot of bmw are also indian made. manufacturing sites are state of the art over there but the labour costs are extremely low so most motorcycle manufacturers utilise their skills and able to produce cheap without comprising quality.

No evidence for that yet, it was claimed on the BBC.

Diesels everywhere.
Most of the small radio controlled aeroplane engines are, or were. diesels. It saves complication (2 stroke)
The idea of a 1cc diesel engine....
....is almost as odd as the ones used in the biggest oil tankers and cargo ships.
Some have no gears, they drive the propellor at crankshaft speed. Again, none of that complicated 4 stroke valvery.
As an aside, they can shut down some of the cylinders, and even do a piston swap or con-rod swap while the engine is still running.. To check for cylinder liner wear, they simply climb inside and measure it, while it's running.
All care of the Discovery Channel.
My first boat had a Volvo MD1b engine, single cylinder about 10hp. I spent several minutes searching for the glow plug, couldn't work out how it ran without one. She was an old thumper but steady and reliable.
Israelis are very much targeting the leaders in Iran, they seem to believe if they weaken them enough it might start a popular revolution.

Surely everyone agrees that bombing Iran is called for and wil be behind Israel for this regardless to what they think about Gazza. This isn't just a great PR stunt from them.
I would love for the current Iranian regime to be toppled, as long as it isn't replaced with something even worse.
Iran should, in theory, be a more advanced and sophisticated country than the Arab states.
