Reminds me of a comedy sketch many years back.
A woman meets up with a bloke from her past, and at first can't recall him. After a bit, she exclaims "Oh, you're Victor!"
the bloke says "No, I'm Greg."
"Yea, but all the girls called you Victor, you know...2 stroke."

Explanation: In Australia, Victa lawn mowers are/were very common, and powered by 2 stoke engines.

I only recognise Victa as having made the Airtourer...?

Okay what the hell is a two stoke engine.

'......

You have to mix oil with petrol in a two-stoke engine - rather a pain! My parents had one when I w2aqs a kid and old enought to use it and I disliked the mixing part.

As far as Saint-Saens "Symphony No. 3 in C minor, op 78 "Organ", I have to admit it lasts far longer than "Also Spach Zaruthustra" so I doubt it fits the Victor clasification!

If you want to listen to the "organ" Sympnony, two highly recommended recordings are Charles Munch conducting the Boston SO. or Charles Dutoit with the Montreal SO.

Oh he's talking about a two cycle engine.

I thought he had a bong pump..... for two stokes

Damn my sticky "arse" - that should have read 2 stroke!


Yes, my friend, that's the same company, see extract of Wiki topic:
Interest was shown in the design by Mervyn Richardson, Chairman of Victa Ltd, which at that time was best known for making lawn mowers and light two-stroke engines.

old saying, Mike
If ya ain't making mistakes ya ain't doing enough. so don't damn your sticky .. uhh whatever... mate, you have a whole lot of mistakes yet to make.

stoke.......

George Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid.
