    Quick LRI Proton question

    I received mine 2 days ago - I presume this is the 'updated' version because I didnt have any of the issues that were previously discussed. The tailcap screws in and out with no problems, and feels like the threads have substantial hold. No problems getting the cap started either. GREAT...

    Night-Ops Helios

    so correct me if I'm wrong - is the entire body and handle HAA? Very cool if it is. I thought I remembered reading something a few pages back about a plastic handle. Looks great!

    Finally you can buy a TANK

    Here's a "real" site to buy tanks. Its amazing what a private individual can buy if you're willing to part with the dough. Personally, if I won a lottery this would be the first site I hit. Forget Ferarri and Porsche! I was VERY close to buying a Tatra 813, but the import/maintanence costs...

    How do you drive a car/truck with an automatic transmission?

    I agree. Creeping ahead on a level surface at idle is normal, but gradually accelerating to 30 sounds like too much throttle (high idle). Might be generating a bit of excess heat in the transmission while at a stop in drive. Every vehicle is different, but generally 700 RPM's or so at idle is...

    MAGHID bulb life

    my opologies if this has been covered before - but i couldnt find an answer with search I'm currently on my 2nd bulb with my maghid - and my first bulb blew VERY fast (I'd estimate no more than 10 to 20 hours use). At $80 (or so) per bulb, I'd really like to know why. Since then I've been...

    Poor Flashaholic's Big Mac

    :lolsign: Well, no guarantees in Texas - but its worked at at least a dozen locations here in Toronto, so for whatever reason it definately seems to be common knowledge.

    Poor Flashaholic's Big Mac

    My buddy and I have been doing the bigmac-cheeseburger thing for a while. To simplify when ordering, just say "cheeseburger dressed like a bigmac". They'll know what that means. We've never been charged extra for this that I know of.

    Is the Inova T4 a good choice?

    The t4 is my favorite light - it just does everything well (light output, rechargable, durability, throw/spill). The only thing I'd be sure to think about is the size. Its a little bigger than a 2aa mag, and while it will fit in your pocket, it wont disappear like the x1. Its also solid...

    phoebus manufacturing HID

    yeah -after some comparison it looks to be the same - I thought initially it looked a bit different (sans rubber rings) anyone know if it'd be possible to install a 4-5k bulb? Looks like the bulbs in the ae/BS's are sort of a proprietary deal... I'd love one of these lights, but I think I'd...

    phoebus manufacturing HID

    I stumbled across this tonite... a search on the forums didn't return anything, just wondering if anybody knows anything about this company/light (based out of SF CA)? Looks a lot like the AE 24w. Very nice case/package though. I can't find any prices anywhere...
