    oh dear, looks like some cans came out of the pram. hell even kamikazi pilots were good at thier job. seems like some of you have no sense of humor? here i have a tip….next time you go to purchase something go into a video shop and get a couple of box sets, make sure they have comedy stamped on them.

    you can get all upset if you want that i called a pilot a kamikazi pilot, but you must readd into humor. or meet me and know what i’m about, most things like 99.9% of me likes fun. i take very little serious and can make a light hearted crack at even the worst things.

    thats all gents, play nice 🙂

    i think the drive cable makes more sense? but are they set to the side of the unit or direct into the rear center like a mechanical car speedo?

    i am trying to learn 🙂

    yes we tend to forget or really do not hear of the unsung hero’s (the test pilots) these guys put thier lives on the line daily to be sure the aircraft are fit for either war or carrying civilians.

    nice report and RIP Mr Griffiths.

    i am quite an avid movie watcher and i have to say i have not seen many good horrors for a long time.

    hills have eyes is quite good. its wierd to say the least but then are not all horrors?
    there are others on that sort of line and time scale too that have been quite good but not good enough for me to remember the titles.

    i like things like pulp fiction, reservior dogs, things like that, the latest being the cohen brothers ‘no country for old men’ thats slow, wierd and pretty good at the same time, but i wouldn’t class them as horrors.

    Is that supposed to be funny? :confused:

    no sir it was a true story. if the pilot didn’t abort i probably wouldn’t be telling it.

    there have been a few cars converted with merlins and meteors. they look an absolute abortion, and the one that featured on tv ”the beast” sounds like its dropped a big end.

    the problem is, non of those who fit these things to cars will ever bring the motors on song..i’m pretty sure i’d have a go. they might as well fit the mighty V12 Jag engine in and have seperate headers. it will not sound the same but it sure will sound nice.
