The 3kw we have on order from Beaver Tool hire is as quiet as a Honda 1.4 Civic, almost un-noticable.
We will half bury it as well, which will remove all traces of it...
£500 is a lot, about 7 years of hire, with which you never have to worry about them going bang....

brown sugar makes a nice fuel additive for those noisy gennys that run too late into the night  That's we we thought, one year whilst camped in Terte Rouge, untill we came up against a bloody Honda. The damn thing proved almost indestructible. We finally got it to shut up using TWO whole bottles of Fairy Lemon Washing-up Liquid. Only problem was, the twerp who added the second bottle managed to get it over the top of the Genny  Bit of a giveaway to the owners when they smelt this slimey, lemoney liquid stuff all over their lovely Genny. Even bigger give-away when we were the only other tent still pithched within 200 meters  Oh well, at least we had a quick brush up on diplomatic lying.  I think those western lads are still looking for a dodgy, drunken, French fairground roadie we swore walked past their Genny just before it packed up.  |

You're absolutely right. 6kW for 90 Euro's is definitely a lot cheaper then, unless you go to more venues a year... |

My generator has a 300 bhp engine driving a 90 amp alternator at 12 volts - runs the radio anyway  As long as it doesnt get over hot ? |

You can't be serious, surely. f**k*ng-up someone's generator because it's a bit noisy, whilst camping in the midst of a 24 hour motor race? A textbook exercise in how to get your teeth kicked-out in one easy lesson, I would imagine. You should be ashamed of yourself. |

No doubt Matt,
Christ, if you pulled a stunt like that at a NASCAR race, f**k*ng up someone's generator, the last that would be seen of you is your bullet riddled body being chucked into a gator infested swamp.

I believe you're right, Matt. Last year (and for me, in '02 at some camping during the Austrian GP) we always stop the generator's irri-exhaust at the dark hours. But I wouldn't dream of wrecking someone else's generator. Just get pissed enough, so the f*cker won't harm your ears |

Trashing someone elses gear would seem a triffle harsh - boot on the other foot and all that. Maybe some earplugs would have been a preferable solution........

Rusty - I apologise my ice cream van fantasy project was far more plain vanilla than this! I'll stick to dreaming about double decker buses!

Not ashamed. During the race, no problem. But 5 nights on the trot with a genny running until 4am and then back on at 7am. It is inconciderate actions like that which need a good shoe-ing, so brown sugar is a light let off. Most genny oners arent like that, it was just the idiots I was bitching about. Calm down Mr Harper, no offence intended.... |
