Generator

[Robbo SPS]

The 3kw we have on order from Beaver Tool hire is as quiet as a Honda 1.4 Civic, almost un-noticable.

We will half bury it as well, which will remove all traces of it...

£500 is a lot, about 7 years of hire, with which you never have to worry about them going bang....

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

brown sugar makes a nice fuel additive for those noisy gennys that run too late into the night  

That's we we thought, one year whilst camped in Terte Rouge, untill we came up against a bloody Honda. The damn thing proved almost indestructible. We finally got it to shut up using TWO whole bottles of Fairy Lemon Washing-up Liquid.

Only problem was, the twerp who added the second bottle managed to get it over the top of the Genny   Bit of a giveaway to the owners when they smelt this slimey, lemoney liquid stuff all over their lovely Genny. Even bigger give-away when we were the only other tent still pithched within 200 meters  

Oh well, at least we had a quick brush up on diplomatic lying.   I think those western lads are still looking for a dodgy, drunken, French fairground roadie we swore walked past their Genny just before it packed up.

You're absolutely right.
6kW for 90 Euro's is definitely a lot cheaper then, unless you go to more venues a year...

My generator has a 300 bhp engine driving a 90 amp alternator at 12 volts - runs the radio anyway

Gone the same way as our branded fire breathing Ice Cream Van fantasy ??

Anything like this Rusty?

You can't be serious, surely. f**k*ng-up someone's generator because it's a bit noisy, whilst camping in the midst of a 24 hour motor race?
A textbook exercise in how to get your teeth kicked-out in one easy lesson, I would imagine. You should be ashamed of yourself.

No doubt Matt,
Christ, if you pulled a stunt like that at a NASCAR race, f**k*ng up someone's generator, the last that would be seen of you is your bullet riddled body being chucked into a gator infested swamp.

I believe you're right, Matt. Last year (and for me, in '02 at some camping during the Austrian GP) we always stop the generator's irri-exhaust at the dark hours. But I wouldn't dream of wrecking someone else's generator.
Just get pissed enough, so the f*cker won't harm your ears

[Nobby Diesel]

Trashing someone elses gear would seem a triffle harsh - boot on the other foot and all that. Maybe some earplugs would have been a preferable solution........

I was thinking of something much more along these lines

[Mr Toad]

Rusty - I apologise my ice cream van fantasy project was far more plain vanilla than this! I'll stick to dreaming about double decker buses!

Not ashamed.

During the race, no problem.  But 5 nights on the trot with  a genny running until 4am and then back on at 7am.  It is inconciderate actions like that which need a good shoe-ing, so brown sugar is a light let off.  Most genny oners arent like that, it was just the idiots I was bitching about.

Calm down Mr Harper, no offence intended....
