Hi,

Yes its a pretty little thing...its the new Ultravalve Amp from AVA. I know this is a Bryston circle, and dont mean to influence anyone, just wanted to share the joy of this new tubular 'toy'!! (35 watts / channel).

All the best
Alex

The cure for "Death Wobble!" Unfortunately, I could have almost purchased a BDA for what I spent to fix this.  :bawl:

:duh: Great offroad, great in snow, terrible for the sense of safety when hitting a bump at 50+ MPH. I will never buy another American made vehicle. :oops:

It is my wife’s car - not mine.

 :P

I actually had someone ask me how I liked the PT Cruiser in a parking lot today. I told him all the problems that I have had with it and the black hole, money-sucking, festering pit that it is.

What I have spent on this putrid pile of most heinously rancid fecal matter Chrysler this year is more than ¾’s the cost of a B100.

Be well…

I rented a pee-tea cruiser once.  With the stronger engine it was pretty cool. I like the interior layout.  It was much better than the Nissan cube...gag.

Last week on the highway i hit a big duck going 70mph. It hit my front grill. I thought my new Sienna van was goin to be damaged. Pulled into the next service station and did an inspection. No damage at all.  :thumb:. If that would have been a Dodge that minivan's front end wouldve collapsed at the point of impact. Major damage no doubt. My neighbor has a Caravan and they sit almost side by side on our driveways. The Caravan looks like tin can while my Toyota has a robust tank look next to it......

Dodge engineers are really forward thinking.  Having a duck crumple zone in front is an amazing safety feature.... :roll:

That was a pretty fast duck. My uncle years ago hit a crow, (that was going slow) at highway speed and it smashed the front passenger side of the window pretty good.

One time I was traveling down the highway at night. And there was this big Snow Owl in the middle of the road. I remembered the incident with my uncle, so I stepped on the gas before the owl got to high off the ground. Hit the bird with the grill part of the car, all I saw were feathers. :smoke:

We had a brid-strike (duck) at work on a Bell 412. The duck went through the chin bubble and splattered inside the cabin  :lol:

There I was (a few years ago)  165mph indicated on my sport bike on a long, un-patrolled back road.  Something hit my helmet with an amazing loud CRACK!!!  And it briefly snapped my head back.  I almost thought I had been shot or hit with a rock.  No, it was just a massive june bug slamming into me at max closing speed.

An allusion to a previous post perhaps?  A bit of colloquial sarcasm to pass the day?  No matter.  My motorcycle days are long past.  Never again.
