Copenhagen

My Vette has 2 seats and a 355 (5.8l) with Camel humps and a 650 Dp Holley and I feel it´s underpowered, doesn´t keep up with the bikes :)A V8 Benz fares well on the epa list Compared to VW´ Beetles, Saab 92/93´s, Trabant´s and Wartburgs...

That's odd. My 560 keeps up with the bikes.


At which speed do you crush waves with a 28 footer and how big?
Could you put some clean emission engines and get by at those speeds?
Anything starts to get alive at 85+

You wouldn't understand without having run a boat on western Lake Erie. The waves are unusual in their steepness and close intervals, meaning that a 28 with plenty of running surface is sometime up and across three waves. No swells to speak of. Think very tall chop with occasional sets of two or three waves off-axis to the prevailing wave direction. The fact that the western end is very shallow means that a northeast wind piles water up and it has nowhere to go as it accumulates at the one end of the "saucer."

Betty Cook came to race KAAMA on Lake Erie and when she was done she remarked something like "I am never going out on that b itch again." And she didn't.

Yes on a free fall it can keep it with one yes...

Heard about the Baltic ?

Exactly the same as the big lakes...sometimes even worse if you compare the sea disasters as the Baltic is the deadliest waters on the planet.
A 20 footer "Chop" took down a Ferry 30 miles from me and 852 passengers...
The median depth for the Baltic is around 55 yards... so no Swells here.

Ok, so Finland even has better Great Lakes than the Great Lakes. Ok.
Whatever. Ferrys sink easily.

But just so you know... my Dad can beat up your Dad. ;)

This wasn´t a contest from my side..just let you know nothing unique overthere.
And I can beat my dad and he knows it and he was a tough nut to crack once...

Some wrecks in the baltic..the top dog with over 7000 victims...thanks to the allies.

Funny these pollutants aren´t talked about in Copenhagen....

Here´s a FERRY overhere.

Regarding your cleanest cars and Trucks,,nope not even by a longshot anymore, was a truth in the late 80´s and early 90´s but especially the Trucks ( especially the Diesels) are laughable to European standards nowadays.

What comes to fuels... wake up.

Your fuels have never been cleanest on any level.
Especially the Diesel is the same quality Russia uses and thats a fact, that much did I Study petrochemistry and work in a refinery while almost becoming a petrochemist... And the Gas..well... lets just say considering it clean makes me smile...
After 2 years I thought that´s not gonna be my life work.

pollutant or not but toxic nonetheless.

"CO2 is toxic in higher concentrations: 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy. Concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour"
We breathe out CO2 with every breath Why don't we suffer any of these effects?

Come on Mika. The reason that your status says "competitor" is not because you sat in the boat with Janne Koho, it's because of your nature.

If I said that my house is 2500 square foot, you would either criticize it and say that Finnish houses are all 1700 square foot and better for the environment or you would say that they are all bigger.

If I say that I train horses and won a county award, you would say that you train special finnish horses that require much more knowledge and expertise and that you have 44 awards and that you stopped accepting the awards because it is embarrassing at this point.

If I say that my mom was pretty... yours was Miss Finland.

If I say that I climbed Mt. McKinley, you scaled Everest.

If I say that my genitals are unusually large for a man my size, you say that your schwanz is 18 inches long and made of gold. But not that crappy Russian gold. Special magic gold that makes women see the face of God.

Fact is Janne ran out of Crazy enough guys to sit with him.
A buddy of mine told Janne told I´m the only one who´s never been scared with him.
Maybe I´m that competitive then or just don´t care.
Or that I just trust him as we go decades back.
Dunno but I have full confidence with him in every aspect and forgive him if human errors happens.
Can´t say that about everyone.

Nope..I´d say yes a lot of Finns has to stay in mental Clinics too..

If I say that I train horses and won a county award, you would say that you train special finnish horses that require much more knowledge and expertise and that you have 44 awards and that you stopped accepting the awards because it is embarrassing at this point.
Like horses but no and the Finnish Horse is a workhorse.

If I say that my mom was pretty... yours was Miss Finland.
Not by a long shot..look at me....
She´s ugly as hell.

If I say that I climbed Mt. McKinley, you scaled Everest.
Nope I´d say DUH, I´m scared of heights...

If I say that my genitals are unusually large for a man my size, you say that your schwanz is 18 inches long and made of gold. But not that crappy Russian gold. Special magic gold that makes women see the face of God.
Wrong but I know how to please them, and make their eyes sparkle ;)

other than that..

AGREED.:kiss:
That´s why we stayed independent and nonoccupied years back.

The road to Key West had me flashbacks of being in Russia...it was that bad honestly and the roads in general was a bit shocking. Hopefully the turnout there will be better next year.

Regarding the others I don´t care as I have much closer LeMans, Monaco and Nurnburgring plus a More than a Handful of Globally renown racetracks and racecourses. ..there´s enough excitement in my book.

Plus next summer hopefully 2 Class1 races within 400 miles plus P1´s with Roslagsloppet.


Next...
The "road" to Key West is called the overseas highway for a reason. How much driving have you done in Russia since you hate them so badly;

Just as a side note, I sold a Harley a couple years ago for 13k that went to Finland. The guy said they would get over 30k for it over there, in other words,the Finns make a lot more money than Americans. He said there was a 100% sales tax on the bike. It depended on how old it was what tax was charged. A new Harley the tax would be 300%.
 
They haven´t believe me.

Being one of the most intolerant countries to foreigners might change your thinking or how we feel helping them but we look it this way;

We Rather pay for the 3rd worlders to Stay there than come here find out how they will get treated and ending up just unemployed isolated and deported finally. And that goes for the Whole Europe as we speak in general, the Facist elements is waking up because of the mess unfortunately and getting a foothold in politics once again.

Good thing or not but the best solution is to keep them from 3rd world at their own culture and homesoil where they rather be and us pay some and build the equipment they need to succeed on their own and then let them buy products they want later.
No third world citizen in their right mind would move to Finland.
 
I told you.... Fund called them Nazies but I called them the proper word.
But we gotta fight them the right way...with something Commies never have had, Money.

Remember why Soviet went under ...because they ran out of money...
But still one can´t deny the facts.
They ran out of money trying to keep up with Regans spending on the military. Regan won that war without firing a shot.

You're welcome.

The air we inhale is roughly 78% by volume nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases.

Reagan was the BEST president in my book in recent history.
During the times he was in charge the auto-industry flourished and all was good.
And he outsmarted/joked the Russians with the Star wars program. or that´s how I like to think ;)

I didn't ask about the composition of air. I'm fully aware of it. Why don't we get dizzy exhaling CO2, that was the question.
 
How many Russians have YOU shot?

Haven´t had any of that Finnish luxury yet.
But just give me a reason...
I thought once ousting a russian operated whorehouse that I´d get my chance but all I got was 3 bikers waiting with a baseball bat and they ran away in the end..yes we changed some swings...
