Pretty sure I've been over that bridge but I stayed on the motorcycle! Had some bad motorcycles and bad rides but none bad enough to to jump off a bridge like that!
I’ve ridden over it and under it more times than I can count. I think I never did it in a car. It’s one of the largest arched spans in the world.

The port at ancient Carthage, then and now.

Looks cool but ruined a classic bus that could have brought close to 6 figures at auction. Will watch this auction with interest.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Years ago I had given some thought to trying to find a bus or preferably a single cab pickup, but OMG the money these things bring! And if you find one that hasn’t been restored, they are usually severely rusted. Here’s one that sold on BAT.

JIS screwdrivers will fix the "soft Japanese" Philip screw problem.
They aren't soft, we've been using the wrong screwdrivers to work on our bikes for decades!
Agreed, with the correct screwdriver and technique the JIS screw head works well. The best style (performance wise) is the square drive, or Robertson. Quite common north of the border in many woodworking applications but tbh look horrible when used on a car, bike or any mechanical widget.

But please don't post anymore of those free-climbing pictures - OMG, they make me palms sweat & bum feel funny.

This kind of thing:

Still from a video . . .
I'm with you Raymond! My wife doesn't understand this at all. I actually get queasy if I look at the photo too long, yet I have no fear of flying. Weird, isn't it?

Guy I worked with back in the `70's had one of those trucks, not as pretty and shinny! Kind of neat with the sides dropping down to make like a flat bed truck!
