Re: Underwater welders missing in the Gulf of Paria??

I have heard that the pipeline was in fact capped well after the fact.
If this is true, Paria basically sealed the tomb on these 4 divers.

An important point to note is that electricity isn't produced and stored like say water. Electricity required is generated at that instant.

Re: 2019 sportero vs 2019 hilux

Mitsubishi would be the logical choice. In terms of durability, historicals over the last 15 or so years would show that the L200 engines have outlasted the others in class, including the Hilux. From my experience, the Hilux engine components tend to become problematic after just 3-5 years whereas t...
