...sold for twice the pre-auction estimate. :bigok: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-20017339 Cheers

For the clueless, the cynical diehards among us and the ideologically-constipated deniers of global warming, it's gotten awfully quiet as of late. Never mind the fact that four separate, independent studies found no validity to the FOX-induced 'scandal' of "climategate", so instead of bringing...

How about 185 million miles.... http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/03/09/nasa.shuttle.landing/index.html?npt=NP1

Went to the gun store today looking for a gift for a friend. Came across a new firearms lubricant: Silver Bullet. (Hope the Coors bros. ain't lookin'....) Claims to be the best gun lubricant on the planet. A proprietary formula including: polytetraflouro polymers, molybdenum, graphite and...

You've been waiting for them with bated breath, so without further ado here are the 2010 Darwin award...ummmm... "winners". 8th Place In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car...

The diaphragm failed a few days back, sending petrol out the little vent hole. I've got a rebuild kit and I've done this six or eight times over the years. But since I have so many check valves, I might as well replace those, too. Now the workshop manual just calls for "staking" the valves in...

As my friend with 25 years in marketing says, "it's not the product, it's the packaging...." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7904698/Beer-to-be-sold-in-dead-animals.html Slainte

There's an old joke about why the blind don't skydive - 'cause it scares the shit out of the dog. :rolleyes: I guess this disproves that old joke.... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/afghanistan/article7063359.ece

How many times have you considered putting the 'red wrench' to rusted lug nuts to loosen 'em up? Don't.... http://www.youtube.com/v/jBUVzgCHHuA :eek:

The '96 keeps throwing the "ABS rough road line low" fault. When this first happened five or more years ago, the local dealership could not diagnose the problem - indeed, they were totally clueless - but charged me $175 to reset the light nonetheless. I haven't been back since.... :mad: Read...

:rolleyes: I guess these guys are afraid of minotaurs, mermaids and centaurs - and by that, I don't mean the Land-Rover tracked 130" variant.

OK, hurricane season is here and I live a half-block and 15' above seal level.... Lots of emergency supplies (and ammo), multi-fuel generator, etc., but there one thing I haven't been able to find/replace. Over a decade ago, I bought this battery powered, all-in-one device at Rat Shack: small...

Need to get a new remote, but since that peculiar pin design is no longer available, it looks like I'll be replacing the solenoid as well. Never liked it in the first place.... Anyway, the Albright HD 90-14452 that EE sells seems to be a great bit of kit: small(er) and waterproof. Any reason...

Saw an unusual, brand-new semi pulling a container out of the port today. A "Sterling". Has Rover re-used its old passenger car badge and re-applied its line of Leyland heavy trucks?

75 years ago today, Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment, which made the Volstead Act unconstitutional and repealed the 18th Amendment. Cheers :cheers:

Don't know if y'all saw this in the paper two days ago: From the AP (Bejing): A Cuban taekwondo athlete has attacked the referee after losing his bronze-medal match. Angel Matos was declared the loser for taking too much injury time after hurting his leg during the men's over-80 kg (176...

I need to get a new hand-held remote for the 5 year old MM 12000...the cheap plastic covering the in/out buttons has died, apparently from non-use.:rolleyes: Like most rover-related items, they are happiest when gettin' put to use - frequently. Anyway, the solenoid has a proprietary socket -...

Interesting...a three judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the DC circuit has just ruled that the inability to have sex is a disability protected under federal anti-discrimination laws. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/5902097.html This should be an interesting case for The...
