Re: They will never work in an urban environment.

Audi twat mobile

Proper 4x4s (from Solihull) are happy to get on verges, the muddier the better.

Highway Man

I remember that, one of the first series I watched in stereo (NICAM).

There is no way that a Helicopter Lorry cross is not cool.

Re: almost

Farscape = upvote

Excellent series

Re: The Thing...

If the original is good, high quality copies are possible.

There are good transfers of 1960s stuff.

Re: No

For you may be, but for many of us we are happy with consoles.

My work PC is on 7 and staying that way, but if I end up getting 10 I see something XBox the PC support people will be getting it in the neck.

Already prepared the comments.

But all revolves around

"But I have a Playstation!"

At least he admits it.

Don't knock all Tory/Conservatives.

They are not all barking. Only some.

Some are very good politicians, well Ken Clarke is. Pity that most of the cabinet and shadow cabinet are not.

Re: What else is blocked?

Good.

I don't trust any of the party sites

I don't want Theresa May spouting off a cliche ridden speech. Nor Jeremy Corbyn trying to be a superstar, nor Farage trying to emulate a war time leader.

I find that for politcal information I now HAVE to rely on the TV broadcasters as the printed press is mainly unusable now.

What else is blocked?

I hope all the other party ones are as well?

Re: Leading by example?

Am I alone in wanting to punch Farage repeatetly, in the face?

Re: RE Gearbox

Italian tuning

I thrashed the nuts of a Sunbeam hatch for years. Well maintained, regularly saw 7000rpm, kept it to around 140,000 miles, took it off the speedo.

Not bad for an old push rod lump.

Took off road due to spares taking too long, in end it was the long wait for a clutch cable. Time for a newer car.

Re: RE Gearbox

I do remember the Novas

1.0 shit

1.2 fun

1.3 not much different to 1.2

Not sure if I have been in a Corsa

Re: RE Gearbox

Many years ago I had a job where the pool vehicle was a shitty Ford of some variety and the gear lever gate was lopsided.

.1.3.5

2.4

It used to keep going 1 to 4 and the clutch was an on off switch. Handled like a turd and the controls were terrible.

I destroyed either the clutch or gearbox. As the car I had at the time had a gear lever directly connected to the box, rather than connected by elastic, and a clutch which was progressive, I treated any inferior transmissions with the distain they deserved.

I managed to break a few Fords until they got an Astra van, so much better!

Last time I had to drive a bad car it was motorway in 4th because the gearlever stuck in my leg in 5th.

Except they will probably employ a junior Turdoch for a while

Re: Pay TV

Aghhh I said pay TV

As I said the average pay TV channel is no better than many of the free ones on the Freeview and Freesat systems.

I did not say to replace Freeview and Freesat, just pay TV.

Amazon or Netflix can very happily replace Sky or Virgin.

Doesn't stop me watching BBC 1 2 4 News 24

Re: Including the president

Why does your most right wing party have the colours of the Communist era?

As to politics, us the British are going to reclaim the word Conservatives.

Your so called ones are nothing like our main stream ones*.

* Look at ones like Clarke, Soubry, Timpson. Wollaston, Major, Cameron just for starters. Ignore nutters like the minister for the 1800s. I could probably name a lot more with a short search.

Even our most right wing zealots (Gove) want to improve the environment rather then bring back burning of coal.

Can someone think of a better name for the US red team?

I used to own all the roads

As the car I had at the time was popular with Police.

I could carve through heavy traffic better than any BMW as it was not my fault that my silver painted car was the same colour as a next door country traffic cars.

Re: Eurofighter Typhoon

OK BAE Typhoon then

Well it is more or less
