# Hello
great ppl!

Just thought I'd let you know about a thing mentioned on tonights Top Gear: they're asking ppl to send in pictures of cars with odd/extravagant exhausts... Mail Here or, if that isn't the eMail address (I got it from the Top Gear web page) click here to goto the Top Gear page, and you can mail them from there...

So, considering Top Gear are asking for pictures of cars with odd/extravagant exhausts, maybe it's a thing for B3ta members to have a mention in?

Does anyone remember a SaunAAB featured in the 73'rd newsletter? www.b3ta.com/newsletter/issue73/...? Top Gear are doing an item on SAAB's next week, so I've linked that, the B3ta newsletter it was in, B3ta and the B3ta board... in the hope that B3ta gets a mention on telly! Am I a bad person for that? urh, never mind.

And, more to the point... I'VE GOT AN ICON....! INITGREAT,EH? I'M PROUD NOW.

I hope this isn't considered a wasted thread...? :-s

# Issue 104 to be precise
HANDY TIP:

If you're standing a bit too far away from
your car and you want to lock/unlock the doors
with your "fob", simply press the end of the
fob into your chin and press the button.
You'll turn your body into a huge antenna and
increase the range of the fob to hopefully
unlock your doors

# I don't think
he got the tip from b3ta. they were trying to figure out why it works this week, someone said that it works because your nasal passages have as much amplification as an accoustic guitar

# I think...
(and here's the geekiness..)

It might have something to do with the capacity in the skull...

Did you know that if you play an 8khz sinewave sound near a chicken it dies? Because of the skulls resonance or something to do with the capacity, and it was only discovered because a factory's machine, next door to a chicken farm, was producing an 8khz sound... but, that's what they say. :-s
