With the drive in ‘N’ there is nothing happening that can have any detrimental effect on the gearbox.

Actually there is. On most automatic gearboxes an internal oil-pump is driven when the crankshaft is turning and this supplied oil to cool and lubricate the internals of the box. With the engine switched-off the oil-pump doesn’t supply this oil and if the wheels drive the gearbox the internals still rotate, even in neutral (as with any gearbox) and damage will soon occur. This is why you should never tow an automatic.

I’m not a pilot.

I think you misunderstood me.

A Jaguar, a pilot, a girlie…..and you (as opposed to the pilot) score! 😉

Your god status still in effect! 😀

I missed out an a Jaguar flight in South America. Two of us, only one flight available. Stupid me went all galant and gave it to the girlie. Which (ahem) paid off.

So, Jaguar, pilot, girlie…..and you score! 😮

You are my new god! 😀

(And that ‘pilot’ should be drummed-out of whatever chicken**** outfit he claimed to ‘fly’ for!)

Well done…..always a good quiz question that. 😉

5. People who refer to a railway station as a ‘train station’.

Aircraft have hangars so are hangared overnight.

(Railway) engines have sheds so are _______ overnight.

Any guesses?

4. “On the spot” live news reports where there is clearly nothing happening.

Yes, than annoys me too! The day that idiot set his underpants on fire on a flight between Amsterdam and Detroit where was the BBC news correspondent?

Live at Heathrow! :confused:

Depends what you mean by ‘robot’…..I believe there are certain electrically powered, moving…er…appliances… :diablo:
