Aussie wiring makes a lot more sense when one assumes it descended from the British automotive industry. Probably engineered by Lucas.
Ahhh... legendary Lucas electronics.

Why didn't the Germans bomb the Lucas plants during WWII? The Germans considered Lucas an ally.
Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb. Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.
Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.
Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices.
In the 1980's Lucas tried to get into the newly burgeoning PC market, but they discontinued the product when they couldn't make it leak oil.
Why is there no death penalty in England? Lucas makes electric chairs.
Did you learn those from your parents? I heard at least 3 of those from my old man...
Local Toro dealers sells Ariens parts. Ours has been going for 12 years. Shaft pins are readily available at Lowes and Ace Hardware.
Those jokes have been around forever.Did you learn those from your parents? I heard at least 3 of those from my old man...
My old Volvo used Bosch components and once drove for 30+ miles before I noticed the alternator had literally fallen off.
It's American wiring, sometimes black is positive, sometimes red is positive, keeps it interesting.
This thing is needlessly complicated, it has almost no electrical devices but has a million wires.
Yeah, but you'd usually only hear them if someone owned either an MG or a Triumph.
No installing windows for workgroups 3.11 for you if you can't get dos on there first!
OK grampsDamn, you old.
Vague memories of having a 486 SX25 overclocked to 33MHz in that OS Era. No extra maths coprocessor for me!
Shit, we didn't even have computers in college. My buddy had an Apple that had ONE WHOLE GIG.
I don't even remember what he could even do with it, but we all knew it was the future.

At speed we see Roland Morrison on his street luge number 6250. It is powered by a Harley Davidson Evo 1200cc Sportster engine. Roland went 169.460 mph in TO (time only) as there is no class that the machine conforms to. Interesting engineering with H-D rear swingarm suspension and brakes. It had a hand operated shifter and clutch. The 4 front caster wheels came with a manufacturers certification speed rating of 180 mph at 500 lbs load. Steering was accomplished by twisting the chassis similar to a tobaggan

I had a 286 box in college. By my senior year I was writing programs to solve optimization problems that took days to run. Found a hot PC in the library with a pentium 100 that I would run the code on at night and would show up again early in the morning to get the results before anyone could touch it.
That shit took me weeks to write, today it is a single line in MATLAB and would take but a few hundred milliseconds.
One of those optimization problems was to figure out the ideal single speed bike gear ratio for a rider with a specific power and duty cycle rating over a specific course, hills wind direction etc.
Pfft, that's easy if you just ride a high-wheeler.
I remember the first computer I got to do anything on. 1967 IBM 360 probably. Fortran and punch cards. god those days sucked
are those ska cows?
two stories, placed on a ridge so the wind keeps the snow levels down
Managed by, and patronized by the sierra club. So I genuinely hope this thing caves in this spring.

mooperation ivy?
operation moovy?
cowperation ivy?
could also just be the belted galloways and still be an actual ska band name.

Looks like a horney panda got loose in the milking barn.
horny panda is also a good ska band name
at least that would mean that you now know two ska band names at least
does anyone really need to know more than op ivy?
Ska is the musical equivalent of a white suburban kid who comes back from a vacation at a Sandals resort with beaded braids.
