If I use the quick reply at the bottom of the page **** ***** up. If I quote or use post reply I haven't had any issues so far,
No idea what that means, but guessing it places it between standard P/S & SLR.
Basically. interchangeable lenses, something bigger sensors. no mechanism to flippy-flop like a SLR. Like a digital range finder (although sometimes different).

You're a dink now. Treat yo self. Just remember lenses matter more than bodies. Unless you're falcon. then errythang is 11/10.
Outrun I live about 15 minutes from west bend and port. Both are plenty safe. West bend is the bigger city and does have some hoodlums but nothing serious or dangerous, might see some pretty awesome ricers though lol. King motorsports is sooooo cool, They have 2 CTRs in their lobby. I ordered most of the parts for both EP3s I've had through them. The builds they do are just incredible!
cLaren racing director Eric Boullier claims Honda's development of its Formula 1 power unit this season is laying the groundwork for "a real step up" in 2017.
Boullier feels although the Japanese manufacturer has the potential to make a significant step during 2016, it is better off biding its time to ensure everything is in place for next year.
Honda is the only manufacturer yet to spend any engine development tokens since the season started, with 14 remaining, and motorsport boss Yusuke Hasegawa is eager for one major development push rather than small steps.
"The complexity is how to improve the harvesting without deteriorating the power. If one goes up, the other goes down. You need to have both together.
"The energy needed to rotate and harvest is higher."
With energy harvesting improving, combustion will be Honda's next focus.
"You have to push for both. It's a bit complicated," added Boullier.
"But it is getting there. It is slow from the outside and slow for us. Obviously we would like to win now, but it is coming."
Granted it is Boulliar but I think he just repeats what he's told about the engine from the Honda guys

Danill Kvyat believes he would have outscored Daniel Ricciardo for a second successive Formula 1 season in 2016 if Red Bull had kept faith in him.
Kvyat was demoted back to Toro Rosso between the Russian and Spanish Grands Prix in favour of eventual Barcelona winner Max Verstappen.
Though Kvyat was 15 points behind Ricciardo at the time of Red Bull's decision, last year he had finished seventh in the championship, one place and three points ahead of the Australian.
Kvyat said that statistic disproved suggestions his 2015 move to Red Bull in place of Sebastian Vettel after one year at Toro Rosso had come too soon for his development.
"The circumstances in which I approached Red Bull Racing [were that] the car was worse than the last year," he said.
"It is easy for first year drivers at the time to look amazing.
"I believe the circumstances back then were not favourable but then they started to get better and better.
"The second half of the season for me at Red Bull Racing, it was good, stable.
"I was matching and beating Daniel, I scored more points than Daniel and it would have been the same this year again.
"All the things about a 'too early' approach are bullshit."
Kvyat scored Red Bull's first podium of the season in China, but it was a rare shining light in a difficult opening four races.
He failed to escape Q1 in Australia, was the first driver eliminated in Q2 in Bahrain and hit Vettel twice in Russia after having enraged his predecessor in a first-corner crash in China.
But Kvyat defended his start to the season.
"I was performing more than enough well," said Kvyat.
"I brought them the first podium of the year.
"Our pace was getting better and better.
"They got what they expected from me. That is all I can really say.
"So I think I did everything right, absolutely everything right."
The EK...I dunno. That car appeared in there a year or two after I first stopped in and hasn't moved since. Plates haven't been renewed since 2009 IIRC.
Heard a story today on the news - a woman said she was sexually assaulted by a man pretending to be a cop. Here's the kicker though...she was an escort and met the guy online. Shorty showed up and was like - the tables have turned! Suck it! Literally.
It's like Honda is making this **** up as they go. Gonna give him a new old engine. Nice. I realize the AUS accident fucked things up in terms of engine allocation but Jesus. I hope they at least use the old PU for mileage Thu. Gives them plenty of time to swap to the new old PU Sat.
Fernando Alonso is to have a new engine fitted for the Monaco Grand Prix, but Honda has elected against introducing any upgrades to its power unit just yet.
The Spaniard is on a different power unit cycle to teammate Jenson Button, as the result of his accident at the Australian GP that destroyed his first engine.
With his second engine having run from Bahrain until Spain, it has now hit a mileage limit that Honda believes would be best not to risk trying to get it through Monaco as well
It comes ahead of a weekend that McLaren is expecting to deliver one of its more competitive showings of the season, so doesn't want to risk losing a good result for reliability reasons.
Alonso's engine from Spain, which was stopped in the race when a fuel cut-off setting was activated, can be run again and will remain in the pool of units that can be used in practice sessions.
Honda is still weighing up whether or not to introduce any engine upgrades for the Canadian Grand Prix, with Honda F1 chief Yusuke Hasegawa saying that a decision will be made on tactical deployment of tokens.
The Japanese manufacturer has plenty of changes it wants to introduce, but does not want to waste tokens early on if they can be used for greater gains later in the campaign.
"I haven't decided yet," he told Motorsport.com after the Spanish Grand Prix. "Although we are developing all the time, if we don't care about tokens we are ready to update.
"But I need to decide the tactics about which grand prix we have upgrades, so I cannot tell yet. We have no concrete plan."
We have no concrete plan. Oh really? Jesus Honda could find their *** with 2 hands and a flashlight.
Kevin Magnussen expects the "impressive" step made by Renault with its Formula 1 engine to be a significant boost in the Monaco Grand Prix.
Magnussen and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo will be the two drivers who will get the upgraded power unit which has received substantial praise since it was tested in Barcelona last week.
While Magnussen says he cannot quantify the improvement in terms of time gained, the Dane admits the stronger driveability will be a big help around Monte Carlo.
"I can't really quantify it. It's better," said Magnussen. "It depends on the track, really. It's a good improvement. Renault has done a really, really good job with this, especially considering it's during the season.
"To make a big step in the middle of the season is quite impressive.
"One of the concerns for Monaco was the driveability, and actually the driveability is better, so that's something that's going to help a lot around here.
Magnussen reckons the revised engine is the result of Renault deciding to change its development direction after struggling in 2014 and 2015.
"I think Renault, on the engine side, went in the wrong direction with the old power unit and they realised that and fixed it and went in the other direction and now we are seeing the gains from that.
"So it's not just about investment. It's also that but it's not only that. It's also a change of philosophy."
To Honda's credit, they have legitimately made the most progress since the beginning of the 2015 season. If they weren't headed in the right direction that would be one thing, but they are slowly moving forward. After they realized how far in over their heads they were, they've been able to make progress at the rate they said they would.
McLaren are kind of stuck. What if they don't win a race in 2016 or 2017? If Honda is having this many problems, would they be better off switching to a new manufacturer and repeating 2015 and 2016 over again? Do they go after a Ferrari power unit (I can't see THAT happening) or a Renault or Mercedes after the engines have gotten to the point where they are all almost equal, ala 2013?
Either way, McLaren at least is getting free engines and boatload of money from Honda to pay for Alonso. Honda really is the foolish looking one right now, they're throwing money down the toilet and getting zero returns so far. Is Alonso worth all the money they're paying him when the engine is so far off?
One has to wonder if the package ever comes good if Honda will buy more advertising space on the car to really drive home the message.

Oh I'm just busting Honda's *****. The overall gap to Merc has come down from last year and they can keep the PU together for several races. The token system are what is limiting them, I think. They have no excuses next year doe. If they are **** next year they better just leave F1.
