I can remember when threads about moderating decisions were frowned upon. Forum descending an incline under gravity etc etc.

My occasional running buddy has run these instead of walking them. She's mad though.

There's one in the next village to me. Sounds amazing when the very friendly owner floors it upon request.

Not so much.

You should all be banned. The Supra is the fastest car EVAR. FACT,.

Your dad is really good at washing cars. Any chance of some pics of the Porsche?

Speechless!

So Steve Jobs was onstage announcing the new iPad2. Lighter, thinner and lasts for about 10 hours. I knew he was ill but.....

I think there's a been a thread about this every time this episode has been on. Just like that one on the beginning of that Police, Camera, Chav programme.

Kit-Kat chunky in f**kin' segments! It's political correctness gone mad.

Wow! Love it.

Don't think so. A plane still reacts the same way whatever way it is oriented. Pull back on the stick while upside-down and it will aim for the ground.

A Zombie filled urban environment is scary. Airplanes, not so much. BTW, if aircraft wings are shaped so the the air flowing over them causes an upward lift how come they don't slam into the ground when flying upside-down?

Have you got the forks the right way round?

I agree but you know what some people are like. Look at all the people that insist on referring to the GT-R as a Skyline.

You can change the result of pressing the home button in Chrome. I use it mostly over Firefox but it needs a proper bookmarks sidebar (like FF). Oh, and Minori FTW.

Get rid of insurance and make people pay for accidents out of their own pockets. Should raise the standard of driving especially as my idea comes with a prison sentence for being at fault and not having the ability to pay for the damage. All disputes go through a central govt. agency that takes a percentage of the claims.

You can't beat good old British manufacturing.

I went to one of these once. Got there and found no-one about. Sign on the door read 'Closed due to unforeseen circumstances'.

I've just bought this. It'll be going into my 306. Brap brap....

Yes.

Should've been at our place last friday night. Just sayin....

I've been doing some more reading and, using the US as a model, I've seen the same thing crop (no pun intended) up time and again. Even if all the land capable of being used for growing was utilised for E85 production then it would still only produce about 10% of the US yearly fuel requirements! Now, headline attention grabber or not, it does seem to be born out by scientific types with their calculators. Pretty much rules it out as a viable fuel in my opinion. The same goes for all other green alternatives. I've not yet read of anything truly green or sustainable. The best we can hope for is the tech guys get to grips with nuclear fusion.

From memory I think it require something like 30% more energy to produce ethanol than you'd get out of it. Like oil from the Tar Sands. I takes two barrels of oil to produce one barrel of oil. The general gist is that you couldn't grow enough to power all the vehicles in the US and still be able to feed an ever-growing population.
