The fat square nylon chord that I bought from the $2 shop a few weeks ago is so much better than the specialty whippersnipper chords that I've been paying $15 for years from places like bunnings.
I love my 2 stroke, it makes so much noise. I'm always hoping I've got the fuel mixture right, and it gives me a sweat starting it up. I love reving it to full pelt - 2 stroke for me is like the equivalent sound of a gurgling V8 muscle car. Electric is for pussys.
Years ago I studied marketing, they invented a silent lawnmower - obviously it didn't sell. The reason is that men buy these things and the noise the lawnmowr makes is about the idea that men have about being able to tame the environment.
So Mark, how is that Mardi Gras float coming along?
Pussy hey, I challenge you to a dual with your stinker. I will put my high voltage battery pack on my limp wristed girly whippersnapper and run it at 7kW, yes that's 7 big ones. Then I will throw away the nylon and put on the metal blade and you can do your lawn while I go and cut down small trees.
Then we will see who has hair on their chest.
