Don't mention that word around me unless it's an establishment serving tasty cold beverages or a horizontal structural element.

It's the only thing about the metric system that I find myself seriously questioning the sanity of whoever concieved it.

same here, I can imagine how much pressure 20PSI would be etc, if that makes sense. But I can not visualize/imagine 3 BAR of pressure lol...if that makes sense?

I agree, BAR is evil!

Season opener was classic.  Best line IMO:  "Ever notice that when Jeremy fills up, he looks like a teapot?" -  James May.   Bravo!! This IS the best show going.

Remember James Mays "colander" for a helmet?   Bottom picture on the right.  :rofl  



IIRC, Jeremy used a Bucket for a bit on his Vespa, for a bit.   :rofl

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The SI unit is pascal not BAR

They used some BoB music on the initial link. Anyway, it was something for AH'ers to see them arrive and pass in Spitfires. Been petting one of those actually ;)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Brilliant show - the last season was a wee short at about 7 episodes, but new shows are back in october aparently!

Loved this episode's film...the use of the spitfires, the roar of the merlins, the classic BOB movie music, and the movie quote "We're on our own, playing for time and its running out"...that Sabine can chuck a car (and van) around the ring pretty good

1 bar = 100,000 Pascal = as close as makes no difference 1 atmosphere.

You were completely right though: Bar is not an official SI unit. However it is based on the Pascal SI unit.
