So, I take it you are all opposed to something called the First Amendment...it's your way or the highway, eh? ...and when confronted with an "inconvenient truth," you resort to school-yard name calling. Yeah, that really proves your point.... :yawn:

Not true. A survey of 12,000 recently-published papers by 1,372 individuals researching climate change revealed that 97 to 98% of them agreed that global warming is anthropogenic in origin. Here's the article from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences...

That was the "Passport," a result of the short-lived Honda/Rover joint venture in the early 90's.

Cite your source on this, especially since the former Mineral Management Service of the Department of the Interior was selling off oil and gas leases on public lands for pennies on the dollar. Monies paid for mineral extraction are the second largest source of revenue for the federal...

Yup... Anyone willing to wager that the impetus for this 'crackdown' is Land Rover corporate itself? Consider the on-going legal campaign against any entity that has "LR" in their name....

To us kids who grew up in the '50s, cherry bombs were vastly more desirable than M-80s, exceeding them in power, waterproof-ness and aerodynamics. If you had a pocketful of cherry bombs and a Whamm-O slingshot, you possessed artillery. Of course, it was a crew-served weapon, in that it took...

I've spent several weeks skiing Big Mountain, Fernie, etc., but my experiences are pretty much limited to yours: whatever roads are open in winter. Going to the Sun Road is perhaps the most spectacular paved road in the lower 48, but that's just what I've heard or seen on videos. It's always...

There is nothing wrong with knob and tube: it was discontinued in the mid-1930's when cheaper to install wiring products came on the market. A problem develops when previously unused space like the attic becomes a repository for 'stuff' that can make contact. Most of us are hoarders.... But...

There's a old-school, low-tech way to find a voltage drain on any vehicle. No bloody computers needed.... Attach a test lamp between the negative battery terminal and the ground cable clamp, then disconnect the clamp whilst keeping the test lamp connected to both. (This will maintain power to...

Most all vehicles have a dual-circuit master cylinder setup; Rover started with the very late IIa and then the Series III to meet changes to federal motor vehicle requirements. A shuttle valve will dislocate towards the circuit that has the most fluid flow, minimizing/shutting that one down...

And that's why my daily driver is the first car I ever bought new: a 1972 Land-Rover Cheers

Could be the idle air control valve. Symptoms are the revs 'hunting' - going up and down between almost stalling out and 1500 or so. Simple, no bux fix: remove and clean both the unit and its port.

Curious.... I four decades of appraising real estate, I've read thousands of deeds and never once seen that term. How could one dig a basement foundation or drill a well? English common law dictated that one owned to the center of the earth and to the heavens above one's property, modified by...

Quite so. Iran is going to collapse quite nicely without military intervention. Due to sanctions and embargoes, oil exports just hit a thirty year low, and though the country is awash in crude, refining capacity has diminished to such an extent that they have to import refined product. Oil...

Yeah, how dare logic and reason should be added to the discussion.... First of all, I own more firearms than all but a few of you and have been reloading since '78 or so. And I live adjacent to a small (25,000+- student) university. The president's house is a few doors away. And no, I...

OK, fine.... Now take a school like Virginia Tech. How many buildings on campus? A hundred? And each of these has anywhere from three to over a dozen exterior doors. And that doesn't include all the parking lots, ball fields and common areas...it would take a regiment to protect the campus...

Ruger actually did develop a Mini-14 in .308 in the early 1980s. It was advertised in various gun mags in '84 and '85, along with another "coming soon" variant in .243. However, it never evolved as far as actual sales to the public, due to "unresolved engineering and production issues" - which...

Sorry...my bad. I've got .308 on the brain - 7.62x51...not 7.62x39, as in the Mini-30. Recently, I've been researching loads for the 7.62 for my bro's rebarreled M1A; in the last year I've just started reloading for my M1 Garand. Been reloading for the Mini-14 for three decades now. As I...

The Ruger is a lot of fun in .223/5.56, but in .308/7.62, that thing barks like a big dog! Short barrel, light action, big round...you do the math.

A while back, I noticed smoke coming from a car in an adjacent parking lot as I drove the Rover onto the top deck of the office parking garage. I called the FD from my cell. The station was just three blocks away and they got on the scene right quick. It was apparent, at least to me, that...
