    Old Timers Unite

    I spent 9 months up north when I was in the Norwegian coastal artillery. Technically Navy, but we never left land. Make sure you catch the changing of the guards at the royal castle in Oslo, it's daily at 13:30. In Oslo, you can visit Akershus Castle...

    Old Timers Unite

    Ah, John's rants. Good old days. John was not stupid, but he was opiniated. He also practiced law before he started EE. Contrary to what some believed, he also was not one of the founders of DiscoWeb, nor was he an owner at any point. He also had no patience for what he considered stupidity...

    Old Timers Unite

    My Wife's Freelander wasn't that special, it went through the mandatory 30k transmission replacement, too. My independent mechanic at the time who specialized in Land Rovers and other European cars did some research and put in a transmission that had some kind of upgrade done to it, and we...

    Old Timers Unite

    I guess I am one of the old timers, i think. Does being one of the original founders of this site count? I'm still around from time to time, but rarely post anymore since I was transferred to Canada back in 2015. The original plan was to bring the Disco up here to Quebec, but it turned out to...

    New Ride, two wheels this time

    You know, i didn't think I was a bike guy either - until I tried it. I always thought bikes were cool, though - and when one of my friends here got a new bike, I sat on it to check it out. That made me decide to take a driving class and get a bike license just to see if I really liked it, and...

    New Ride, two wheels this time

    Unfortunately, due to the incredible amount of red tape involved in getting the Disco exported from the US and imported to Canada, i ended up selling it to my neighbor when we moved to Canada 3 years ago. Not a happy decision, but it was just too much involved in bringing it here, and the...

    This Place Looks Different!

    There is no stack left, but I still have the dvd master images somewhere. I can make MP4's from them.

    DRLs are stupid

    True. And i can always get an ex-military Land Rover up here one day, if i want. But there are a few other things that has to fall in place first.

    DRLs are stupid

    Not a Land Rover, no. It's a Canada spec Ford Escape. DRL's are mandatory up here. I just leave the switch in Auto and let the computers deal with the rest. The Land Rovers had to be left behind in the States. :mad:

    DRLs are stupid

    I haven't touched my light switch in a year and a half. My car is smart enough to switch from DRL's to regular lights when it gets dark, or when the wipers go on. It even has a little car on the dash where it shows what's actually on.... :eek:

    Music for tonight

    What's streaming? ;) I only stream lossless FLAC's from my media library. I do it that way, because CD's became unmanageable as my collection grew past a certain point. I still have vinyl and my turntable too, but have slowly been digitizing them. That takes forever, because the only way to...

    The people have spoken

    Schengen is a separate agreement. EU membership is not a requirement. Norway, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Iceland are all members of Schengen, even though they are not EU members. They are all part of the EFTA trade agreement also.
