One Billion.

Not sure if that is $ or £.

Is that an American billion or a British billion? 

As to the currency, well it won't make much difference before long....     

Us and UK billions are the same

Us as in the 'Royal We'?   

You are of course correct that an American billion is the same as a British billion, but it wasn't always the case.

A British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million. Britain started using the American version in the 1970's I believe. 

I'm far too young to remember this of course.

I thought it was still a million million here. Obviously didn't get the memo. 

Sorry to hear that all your billions aren't worth as much as you thought Ron.                                                                   

Will be phoning my accountant first thing tomorrow. 

Fella that bought it (from Scotland) said he wasn't going to use it, just take it 3 miles for it's MOT every year, but sit around with his mates admiring it :-\t...... rather strange, but there you go....
YG03FNV. Looked a good solid example - not my favourite colour, but that's subjective I suppose...

What's the Autodoc-available equivalent of the VX/GM "grey goo" I commonly see referred to? Specifically I'm after some for resealing a V6 breather box. Or is it the case that grey goo is grey goo is grey goo, and so long as it's grey it doesn't really matter about the label? 


For example, would this match ? - [size=78%]https://m.autodoc.co.uk/elring/15483203[/size]


An actual Vauxhall dealership (or halfway decent motor factors) would be an hour's round trip at least these days, whereas I'm in no rush and can just add a tube of something to my order and wait a few days.

Can't recall if they are a 1.2W or 2W capes type.  Reuse old bulb holder.

2.4w for the bigger ones iirc

£834... On parts  . And they didn't do a cambelt,

No.3 would be the engine on the starboard wing. They are counted from port to starboard.

I think the cowling of the departed no.1 engine ended up the other side of the runway so quite possible it killed no.3.

However, one of the videos shows no. 2 at the back spitting out sparks just after rotation. It quite possibly ingested fire from the burning port wing at that point.

Needed cambelt, Brake fluid change, possibly wishbones,,

Notice how they didn't come to the Village to ask for Friendly helpful advice 😄

Bet they’re going to need a bit of time to re edit  that then or else it could potentially cost them another billion👨🏿‍💻

Sorry - that first sentence should have been....

"#3 is the tail engine? Anything departing #1 with enough energy to penetrate the fuselage is going to miss the tail engine."

Point is, I can't find any instances of an engine on one wing causing damage to an engine on t'other wing. Yes there have been instances (on both B-707's and B-747's) where one engine has failed and knocked the other one on the same wing off, but never on the opposite wing.

Seems like a sensible move.
