[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 106604, member: 60"] When dealing with an imperial vehicle I would prefer the length of king Henry 1sts arm than the 1790 guess of the distance from the equator to the north pole:D. In the workshop apart from turning (because my bargain Harrison was metric dialed) I only know what a fit with a thous clearence feels like but my digital calculator keeps me sane on BMWs and the like. In distance I can easily read a Km signpost and get miles (divide by 2 take the most significant digit and add it on eg 10km/2=5+1=6 miles) which helps when touring Europe or watching documentaries by Milenials- but I dont watch many of them because they expect their audiences to have the attention span of a fruit fly and repeat everything you have just watched after each commercial break [/QUOTE]
