  . Perhaps a glorious moment - up to around 6` - and then `plop` back into the dirt having succumbed to your Jungle Fowl genes. `Dang` - (you would shout to the Cockerill who was eyeing you up from the fence - waiting his chance) "I`m not up for it" Cos it`s best to be light and fast as you fly

  I was reading a report today in Which that (according to Warranty direct) the average incidence rate for engine failure is 11.3%- but with turbocharged engines the failure rate is 27.8%. That?s more than double. (Why read it in 'Which?' when it's here: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/item.htm
• The trunkating of mechanical adventures 14 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  In modern cars. You just can`t get that feeling of `adventure` back, can you? in modern motoring, that is. Those trips up to Scotland in the 60`s. Shap Fell in third gear, being happy that you could get up at 40mph. The little tribulations with points and the sticking piston in the SU carb
