Or, in former times, English cars being rated at so many HP for tax purposes - which was a pure calculation I think.
    Aussie cars were charged like that at one stage - I thought it was just a tax dodge.

    Shop around mate and they ARE the ducks guts. Rated for continuous use which is great also.

    Can you recall the name of the place in Geelong Shedhand? My credit card's itchy ;-}

    The bee is quieter but is better than the F18A. Does this mean the Triton is better than your new Table Saw because it was noisier?

    No George. The t/s is as quiet as a bee, the triton is as loud as an F18A Hornet.
