Richard Hammond heli'd out to hospital.  Say he walked to heli after being cut out of overturned car, but in critical condition.

Best wishes Richard!!!

Well, apparently I'm in a minority of one, but I thought it was priceless.  Look almost halfway down, posted 13:47

Now we're getting somewhere!  I knew you guys had it in you.

Still can't believe I got no response to the membership initiation in my newbie post

Yeah, you couldn't use the whole kit.  I guess people here aren't twisted like that though    I know that others have done it, but haven't seen it in person yet.

Correctly added to diesel like nitrous on a petrol it gives a massive boost.  You can add nitrous as well, but the imporvement isn't as dramatic and not worth the effort IMO.

I see lots of diesels, and a surprisng number of LPG conversions on this forum.  Has anyone been tempted to misappropiate an LPG conversion kt and use it for propane injection on a diesel?  It's nitrous for diesels.  I don't have a diesel, I'm just looking to see if there are other crazies out there like me!

I tried everything to kill my little J-reg 214 but it wouldn't have it!  I religiously changed the oil every MOT and thrashed it everywhere.  Never even opened the hood between MOT's except for once.  The king lead rotted out and I had to walk to Halfords.  Other than that the engine was perfect.

If I was Ford with all the cash they have I'd be tempted to buy the Rover name and bury it.  They could also prefer to do Rover branded Modeos, Foci, etc. instead of the current Jaguar branded ones.  Their platforms translate into Volvos pretty well, but they seem to want to drop Jaguar b/c it is too much work to tweak their platforms to match that slot in the market.  It would be a lot easier and cheaper to do them as Rovers, and a larger market.

The Internet is fun when you want the drama, but sucks when you don't.  Either way, the drama is always there, although apparently less than in the 'old days'.  I used ebay for the first time this summer, but only one of those fixed-price got-tons-on-the-shelf deals.  Not that I'm against ebay, but things like that give other people too much power to piss you off IMO.

It sucks to be on the receiving end, but in my experience if people are happy then they don't lash out at others.  If they do lash out at others, the topic is usually some insecurity of theirs.
