Im going about 230k now, by now the locks are fucked and needs to be changed,
electric window engines has been broken, and some minor fixing, the usual,
but Im expecting it to go a little further on the road than 200k before major
trouble on engine, atleast.

She was a beauty, and got to 90mph no worries.
Then was crushed to bits. :crying:

erm, no, the term for kilometers is "km" , the initial "k" is for Kilo, meaning 1000, so 200k = 200,000 , 200km = 200 kilometers :)

Oops, sorry.

I'm afraid you'll have to make sense before I can understand you.

[Jon L. Obscene]

Machine threas are those lil twisty like patterns on round metal things called bolts, they go together with little various shaped things called nuts witch have the female version of the thread on the bolt.
These are used for securing things together, you may find many on your motor vehicle or bycicle :)

I did have prior knowledge of that concept of threads..

Though I thought you were referring to a thread about machines. My mistake.

I guess you "pwned" me Junno. You were talking about nuts and bolts and there's me thinking you meant posts on a forum.

Paint me pwned, I did not think I'd be caught out so easy.

I tease. I have no real clue to the original post. Though I do like my interpretation.

[manker]

Wouldn't it be machined threads.

Given that machines don't have threads because they are not bolts.

[Jon L. Obscene]

I guess you "pwned" me Junno. You were talking about nuts and bolts and there's me thinking you meant posts on a forum.


But I was replying to you after you said you were fully numerically knowledgable in metric and imperial :)

Therefore my answer was in that context as threads are measured in the same way :)

Jonno :cool:

Edit@ Manky.....No, they are called Machine Threads :) , Machined is what has been done to them, but the term is "Machine Thread" :)

[manker]

But I was replying to you after you said you were fully numerically knowledgable in metric and imperial :)

Jonno :cool:
No Jonno, it appeared - to me too - that you were talking of machine threads, threads about machines, since this is a message board.

The proper terminology is machined threads.

As I stated I have full knowledge of all imperical and metric measurements.

In the context of discussion, on a message board, I believed you meant a machine thread, thus referring to a thread about machines.

Any confusion can, surely, only arise from the original poster's lack of clarity.

Edit: Bad grammer.

[DanB]

where is the thread then?

Google image search? You're having a laugh.

Nothing beats prior knowledge but a proper definition is good as a back up if the person doesn't recognise what you're trying to say.

Here:

Machined.

def:

v. ma·chined, ma·chin·ing, ma·chines
v. tr.

To cut, shape, or finish by machine.

Source (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=machined)

Anyone that labels a bolt thread as a machine thread is mistaken because the correct terminology is machined. To suggest otherwise is not only bad grammar but also misleading, which I believe was Cheese's point.

Edit: Oops, maybe that was harsh.

[Jon L. Obscene]

lol, Sorry Manky thats classic college text book answer, my experience is realworld, not bookworld, the term "Machine thread" is applied to the general terminology for all threads, be it bolt, nut, screw, lightbulb etc etc, yes they are machined, but they are Called (In the trade) Machine Threads, more as a name than a description, I guess an analogy would be calling your vehicle your "Mota" which classifies all model types, vans, cars, trucks etc.

So it comes down to the old thing of "everything from a book" vs "On site practical experience" :)

But I can see how it was missinterpreted, altho I think really, thruth be known Cheese knew what I meant ;)

It comes down to being correct or incorrect in the words we use.

I choose to be correct. You can choose to be incorrect if you like.

The generic term is machined thread. People who don't care about using the correct term say machine thread - maybe because it trips off the tongue more easily or maybe they don't think it's important to include the extra d because it will be understood anyway.

However, when written it is important to include it as the written word is subject to more scrutiny than the spoken word.

If you look on the sites of people who actually know what they are talking about, bolt retailers, they will all write machined thread (http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:eTw6hLI9vpIJ:www.righton.co.uk/fastener2.htm+%22machined+thread%22&hl=en) however if you were to go there and speak to them you'd probably get away with verbally using the incorrect machine thread.

We are using the written word rather than the spoken word so I'd say it is better to use the correct 'machined thread' rather than the incorrect and verbally lazy 'machine thread'.

As stated, feel free to be incorrect. I just prefer to write such that others will be able to understand what I mean.

Wow. How literally correct of you. I dare you to show up on a building site and say that to the boys who say "machine" as opposed to "machined". That is, if the need to be correct and righteous moves you to such an extent. :lol: Perhaps you'd like to bring your dictionary with you to prove yourself right?

[Jon L. Obscene]

Ok Manker, to try and get you to understand have a look Here! (http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/cat.jsp;jsessionid=4JMMLCRWMSEP3CJO2C1CJ0Q?cId=100039&ts=50428)
These screws are used for many things, from gate fixings to engines, they a called Machine Screws because they have a Machine thread as oposed to a cut thread used for wood, plaster, plastic etc

The above is true, I have often said that I would not be so pedantic IRL because a punch in the mouth often offends. Saying machine thread on a building site would be fine by me as it would not cause me, or anyone, to misunderstand, cause I'd be on a building site.

However, the correct term is machined thread - because it is machined. There is no disputing that. Anyone who does is wrong.

Now if in the first place Jonno had said machined thread, it would have been clear (to me) that he was talking about a bolt and not a message board thread about machines. I was merely pointing out a way of clearing up any future misunderstandings before they happen, as is my wont.

Granted, if I'd not been pwned earlier I wouldn't have said anything :D

Now respect my grammar authoritah!

Now your other point, about verbally saying machine rather than machined is my point entirely - it's fine in the real world when you're in a shop buying screws but to clarify things when written it is much better to use the correct term - particularly when it could be contextually ambigous, like the word thread on a message board.

As to the rest of it - thanks, but don't be so hard on yourself, there are occasions where practical knowledge is indeed superior to theoretical knowledge. Mind, this isn't one of them :)

You think Sara's gonna be really pissed off when she see's we hijacked her thread with a really stupid argument? :ermm:

:lol:

Jonno :cool:
It truly is the most stupid argument I've ever had :lol:

I duno, I think it was Sara who stuck up for me when IKE (jokingly) threatened to ban me because she liked reading my pointless grammaticasting. She might have enjoyed the hijackage.

I may be looking at that recollection through rose tinted spectacles, I expect she'll put me in my place tomorrow :ermm:

[Jon L. Obscene]

I have to agree, I hav'nt had a stupid argument like that for years :lol:

Here's to pointless arguments to while away the hours :beerchug:

I also realise you will pick up on While because I think it's wrong :frusty:

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

I think it's right, tho' I haven't checked.

[Jon L. Obscene]

Could you check for me please, I wont sleep unless I know it's right :unsure:

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

Trust me, I'm usually right about these things.

Ok boys....so glad you enjoyed your semantic posturing!

I have decided that I will not be getting a 106 cos it looks like a barbie car. Cheers rob.

@ cheese, I am disturbed that someone who is attempting to gain a degree in English Literature has difficulty spelling the word 'grammar' (ooooh I am getting pedantic in my old age)

@ manker, I am surprised that you didn't spot it and correct him, are we getting a little slack?

@ Jonno, I rarely get pissed off about a lounge thread hijack and particularly when its as entertaining as this one has been. Remember, I am the moderate moderator!

Now...please peruse my reply and check for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes because I can't be arsed.

Thankyou

[DanB]

Looks fine to me ;)

[sArA]

Thanks.....I am considering an edit.....just to see if anyone finds it.... :lol: :lol:

You should be impressed really. I was quite bladdered last night after my pub excursion so if you only found one error then I'm quite happy. ;)

The main grammatical error I saw was not capitalizing Cheese.

I actually prefer 'manker' not to be capitalized but cheese is also a dairy product and given that this isn't the spoken word is it better to be absolutely correct - plus Cheese has a big ego and cries when people don't do that.

Thank you is two words and if we're going to be really pedantic Rob posted a 206, not a 106.

:lol: I'm going to have to stop doing this :lol:
