Thanks Bernie, thats great!

One question, photo 21 states "28 quart oil tank" what does that translate to in english?

Paul McFarlane 24th April 2008 10:40 AM

Mark,

28 quarts is 7 gallons (approx. 26.5 litres)..

Cheers

Paul

28 quarts
 
hi Mark,

The U S gallon is smaller than the imperial gallon
Therefore if my high school maths (boy that was a long time ago) are correct

1 us gallon = .84 imperial gallon
28 us quarts = 7 us gallons = 5.8 imperial gallons
5.8 imperial gallons x 8 pints per gallon = 46.4 imperial pints OR
23.2 imperial quarts.

These figures are close enough without being exact and I stand to be corrected by any board member whose maths are better than mine.

Loved it -- Pic 37 HUD
 
I notice on Picture 37 that the Captain has a HUD (Head's up display). Great innovation. I wonder when they will be on my car?

Already is I think, Isnt there a HUD projection in a Honda of speed and revs?

Paul McFarlane 24th April 2008 12:47 PM

...and the Nissan Pulsar SSS had one for speed 10 years ago or so...

Mark Grima 24th April 2008 12:47 PM

Thanks guys! All I can say is that it is a bloody big oil tank!

Cheers
