Just don't start with the Bernard Cornwell stuff. It's addictive as hell. Willie might like the Copperhead Saga. I personally like the Warlord series.

Didn't the B-1 hold the record for fastest aircraft at low altitude? I think it was something crazy like close to Mach 1.5. Or was that the F105...Hmm.

-Edit- Nope, wiki (a dubious source at best) says Mach .95 at sea level, although that is honking fast by any measure.

Actually I've narrowed it down to carbon build up in the four stroke. I'm pulling the plugs on wendesday to check. It's getting better after I wrung it out a bit. I'm thinking just unburnt fuel getting out. If not, c'est la vie.

Reminds me of the page two news last time I was in Trinidad. Only it was the help helping itself to the the cows in a biblical sense. Pretty much summed up the place. ACTUAL QUOTE "In a place where you can have a woman for the price of a bucket of chicken, you have no excuse" that was the ...

The bear should be concerned why Keppoch is trying to lure it in! He's got the teeth of many a bear that made the mistake of not running away.

Don't worry about it Willie it's still an air cooled 360 twin. A friend of the family borrowed it, he's used to dirt bikes and street bikes like honda interceptors, but he had one in the seventies. He said it rides exactly like the old ones, only goes a hell of a lot faster. All the after market stu...

He's waiting for the Iphone to be 3G compatible!

Why rough it when you can get there in your '87 toyota?

He says he's getting too old. Now he gets out of breath carrying a 150lb canoe up a cliff for a hundred yards.

Good to hear from you too Falc!

I'm doing well Tac, I've got my life back on track after a major de-railment. (All sailors go through this around the big 3-0). Spooky is the same old guy, and Keppoch is off camping, dog know's where right now. If you see this in the woods, beware, there is a Keppoch about. http://img.photobucket.c...

LEAN..Right got it. Thank Dog I got a hold of you before I made a complete arse of myself. I really wish you hadn't said "check the Plugs" I don't have the specialised tool, (looks like a plumbers snake with a ratchet head) so that means I'll have to pull the tank to check the plugs :(. Un...

Saw it. Great movie. Horribly violent for kids though. (People getting skewered, killed/dissapearing because of flying debris). It''s got some awesome effects for stuff like AC130 SPECTRE gunships, F-22 raptors and the Good'ol Thunderbolt. Just don't expect realism, it's about giant robots coming to...

Actually Willie, Keppoch is sixty four this month. Update: Triumph is back on the road and I'm doing the call centre thing with tech support at a prominent cell phone provider. I won a new MP3 player for taking the first call at the centre, so things are looking up for me. I may join you guys if you...

Whoa.

Here's the trailer for another one. Bomber boys. I saw it on the telly, but maybe some of you more resourcefull gents can find it.

Great find!

I'm with Willie on the Rata. It's carborated, so it'll train you to make 1g manuvers or you will choke the engine. Rolling into a target etc. The 190's are for experienced pilots who can use their roll rate to the maximum (hope you have Track IR). My favorite plane to get in the swing of things happ...
