    Nope, at the mo she has a Holden V8 in it, only putting out 220 or more kw, I know not much power for a motor of its size compared to a UZFE, but it has torque on tap which a UZFE doesn't and with a 3000 kilo vehicle you need torque not outright power. I will go UZFE eventually and I am...

    My old T/A would chirp the tyres through the gears and pin you back in the seat, gotta love muscle motors that you can feel the torques when you are working your way through the gears. I never timed her, pitty really, but I know she was faster than a "standard" Pontiac powered T/A of the same...

    No it hasn't actually. I know I sound like a smart ass and I am sorry about that, really I am. The whole issue with the oceans like with everything else is mismanagement not the fact the oceans cannot support us. If we just used common sense with what we use and how we use it the planet would be...

    Nazi Germany sponsored MA and phD students to study the "Jewish" and Gyspy DNA and find anything in that that they could later extract (when the technology was available) to make the Aryan peoples even better than the alredy supposedly perfect that they apparently were. None of the studies found...

    I agree there has been alot of things written about concerning the faults of religion, but let me tell you science has a lot to answer for and it has only been going for about 2 centuries. When science is used to "prove" that Jews, Gypsies, Negroids etc are lower than White man then there is a...

    Lol, I push peoples buttons by using what they say against them, most people react badly straight away because they don't like to think that what they have said can be used another way. All in all this was extremely tame compared to other discussion I have been in. I had one avowed atheist...

    I'm glad you know your earthern substances. If you think I'm patronising then methinks you need to get outside a little more often. If I cant ask you a simple question and make some simple statements and then say think about it then there is something wrong. Religion isn't what teaches the...

    And that is where my Communism example fits perfectly into your definition. Communism is an organised institution, the USSR, the Peoples Republic of China, etc. etc. all required that you as an individual tow their line and that to do anything you had to take their articles (granted not of faith...

    Define religion! Religion is merely a way of life. Communism and Capitalism can be and are religions to many people. Being a Jedi is a religion to many people, so are cult followings of movies and/or music. These things are part of society and therefore have an impact on a societies morals. To...

    Oh we do have a chippie on our shoulder don't we? I'll give you one example and that should be enough even for someone of no faith in anything but yourself. You left out Britain's role in Diego Garcia and blamed it all on America, you even admitted to doing it, now if that is not inaccurate...

    You forgot to mention Clinton and a few others. No person has any knowledge of how to fly a 767 until they actually get in the seat and do it. Sorry but your entire discussion looks like you have a real big beef with America, I know I pick holes with alot of their stuff but I wont attack them...

    A slight over reaction don't you think? Sorry to tell you but most pilots nowadays spend more time in a simulator than in a real plane before they fly anything big. Cold hard facts that can be twisted to suit the person sprouting them. France detonated more than one near Australia and what did...

    I totally disagree with the first part of this, 95% of people I deal with agreed with the war in Afganistan, even years into it there looked to be real results. Granted now it has become a drawn out issue but it is a war and that happens. Iraq on the other hand was never popular in Australia...

    I have serious issues with the death penalty, case in point the very last hanging in Australia was publicly televised and the guy was hanged to make an example of him. 30 years later the marvel that is forensic science proved beyond ALL doubt the guys was not guilty. Another case where 80 years...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Mel Gisbon is yankie born and moved here as an infant cause his father got the craps up with America becoming to soft or something. The old man even left the Catholic church and wrote his own litergy to keep his family following the "old ways" , thus the...

    Jibbby, I should be studying but I like reading this site so I'll post this and then go and work. Your ok in my books, you say it how it is and don't hide your feelings, you also dont single people out and that is admirable. This is, unfortunately, the first site I have been able to "chat" to...

    No glacier sorry to say. This is so true, my dad was in hospital earlier this year and ambulance + 7 days in the hospital cost us nothing. Stupid thing is if you have health insurance you have to pay, go figure huh.

    Other things about wombats, is the dent they will put on your car, sturdy creatures they are and if they ever bite you they don't let go easily. Apparently they have a stronger bite than a croc and that's strong.
