Complaints about being great-tit-use

Ms Roxy Louw, making her last appearance on this blog,
for gratuitous reasons
Moans have been heard about the spate of photos seen on this blog recently.
Some of those moaning noises were even articulate ones.
They were about this blog degenerating into your typical chauvinist male pig's type of car reporting with babes on bonnets.
All because our editor chose to illustrate articles on, say, Redisa's tyre recycling, with the lovely visage of Renault South Africa's ambassador, Ms Roxy Louw.

Who happens to be a top surfer and a top model. That is indeed her picture above, being interviewed during the Argus run in Cape Town. Being a professional, Ms Louw always shoots a glimpse at the camera. Look carefully, and you'll see this is one of her pro "glincks". Which the game Balderdash defines as a fast glance.
Almost like she's giving you, dear reader, the eye.
But of course, Ms Louw is not flirting with you, and to prevent suspicions of this blog undermining the efforts of our sisters and mothers who have been fighting, red in tooth and claw, for men across the world to look 'em in the eyes, we will do things different hence.
From now on, when we need to source a photo to illustrate, say, a mechanical property like leverage, we will use athletes deploying the technique under question.
Like this athlete, who reminds one why the length of the piston's stroke can be quite short, as long as the size of the fire made on top of the cylinder head is quite big, which will of course ensure that the loss of torque is offset by a gain in work rate, (or kilowatts) as is the case in Formula 1 racing cars.
