    What was the very first car you ever owned?

    I had a 3-door Ford Escort Bonus 90 on a G-plate that i paid £50 for down my local pub when i was 18 (had previously driven my mums 1986 VW Passat), the drivers door handle didn't work, so i had to get in the passenger side. It had a blown head gasket, mayo in the engine instead of oil and i...

    You currently have 33 ships in the Canadian Navy - 3 destroyers, 12 frigates, 4 submarines (all small diesel electrics - no nuclear in canada), 12 minesweepers and a bunch of support craft.

    A sad end...

    Well - you're still tooling around in CVN-65 for the next few years, thats got a service life of what, 55+ years? The Illustrious class were never designed for that length of service (they'd have been decommissioned within 5 years anyway), unlike the new ones. Plus the new design has the OPTION...

    A sad end...

    Its not a fear of nuclear - its cost, i think. We're reliant on the US for nuclear fuels & nuclear weapons for naval vessels, and we have to ask the US nicely, or we don't get anything. It's also the total cost of disposal once the vessel has reached the end of its life, decommissioning a...

    A sad end...

    Ark Royal was decommissioned as well. The only carrier we have left, is the Illustrious, and that may go the way of the dodo the moment the new Queen Elizabeth Class come into service in about 2015. We're building TWO carriers, neither of them nuclear (WHY?!) and in all likelyhood we'll have to...

    A sad end...

    Well, the powerplant is fairly common - Rolls Royce Olympus Gas Turbines (no-nuclear carriers in the UK fleet), used in a lot of naval vessels. It's a shame really, we're down to ONE aircraft carrier. The US has what, 16?

    my car barely moves in drive!!!!

    Toyota Type IV or Dexron II (not Dex II compatible - actual Dex II) And that cable is NOT a kickdown cable - kickdown is electronically controlled - that cable controls the line pressure, ie - how smoothly & quickly the shifts take place.

    5 Mins to Kill Yourself!

    We dont miss out on it, it's aired in the UK, but only for those that have a Sky TV subscription....since 99% of everything that they charge you money for is repeats of programmes you've already seen on the free terrestrial channels, the 1% of decent stuff gets forgotten about.

    5 Mins to Kill Yourself!

    Not really, it's doable inside 2 minutes. Hit yourself in the face with the stapler, get an anvil thrown at you from the supply closet, get eaten by a shark, attacked by weasels, make the microwave explode, get stabbed by a clown in the toilet etc ;)

    What happened to FlashChat?

    SM Flashchat also looks a little unfinished - what with it not saving user data for the next session (i have to select the 'classic' theme EVERY time i log on), the logo up the top is...uhm...yeah, it doesn't look very pro. Now us old school FC users don't really care, but it certainly could put...

    Anybody with a UK spec 7M?

    The tanks are the same - the line routing is mostly the same, barring the whole 'vent to atmosphere' deal. Ours are the closest to JDM spec than USDM spec, although we never got toys like TEMS or a Targa roof option. (Pointless in our climate!)
