Seeing ads in between posts on the forum, I hope this isn’t a permanant thing – surely Key Publishing doesn’t need to resort to this?!

Thanks for the info Rob, just realised I purchased a car from near you!
Would love to see any more pics of AMARG.

CS I believe that most of the C-130s operators will return their aircraft to US storage, it’s still a valuable type in service and for spares.

I’ll agree that many American cars of the period were “under braked” for their power/size/weight. It’s most noticeable (and commented on) in the “muscle cars” (mid-size cars with large engines) and “pony cars” (high performance Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc.) of the period.
But they were normal for production cars at the time.
As a driver, you learned to anticipate stops sooner (not a bad idea today, IMHO). It’s hardly a problem. I have several cars and I drive each one differently

Yeah, tell me about it, I had a Challenger with no brake servo/booster but front discs, a Charger with drums all round but with a servo, and a Challenger T/A, Satellite Sebring and Ranchero with servo’d discs up front.
I agree though it was never a problem, in fact having these old cars did instil a predictive approach to driving.

Is there any need for it? my old mobile had access and I could make posts from it, and my current smart phone has the same freedom of use as a computor, inc uploading pics.

I’ve driven almost every car from the ’60’s, I still cant think of one that had decent brakes; the big problem with drum brakes, was brake fade, compounded by an almost weekly requirement to adjust them, leaky wheel cylinders, and no telling which way they would pull the car (on the first application).

Rover P6, discs on every wheel from the start and very effective aswel.
P5 wasn’t bad either, just a lot more weight to haul up!

I think i know that company, do they also make replica Spitfires???? 😉

I shouldn’t :D, but that is actually quite funny:)

Here’s one of my all time favourites though, wouldn’t mind trying this 😀

Excellent:cool:

Pretending to be VERY hard of hearing can be great fun…

That’s what I pretend, in fact so hard of hearing that I can’t hear the phine ringing in the first place!

Agree with Moggy about the auto response to answering phones.

Funny old thing, tonight I had more withheld calls activity than normal, not sure if it’s the scammers or because I’ve been discussing classified aspects of the Lightning or a Hurricane landing at N.Weald!:D
