Re: Another One Bites the Dust!

Thanks for all the replies and PMs, guys. I'm not too depressed as the pain hasn't been too bad the past couple of days. It's easy to find little treats to cheer yourself up. I've just been to Tesco and bought an all-day breakfast sandwich and a cheeseboard with an interesting selection. I've got a ...

Convert your car to a Shelby Cobra V8

My brother has just sent me an email about this. He's just had this amusing device delivered and it actually works. You plug it into your car cigarette lighter, tune it to your radio, let it sync with your engine sounds and lo and behold your car will sound like a Shelby Cobra V8! Or Ferrari or what...

Re: Another One Bites the Dust!

It's been a little while since I've updated this thread. It's not because nothing's happened but there have been a couple of subtle changes which have affected me perhaps more than I would have thought. So this report is a bit more depressing than usual. Oh well - I'll have to go downhill sometime o...

Re: Biker drops in

Oh what a shame. Just having an idyllic day out at the seaside. What could possibly go wrong? And then your pannier just clips a post and throws you over the edge. I feel so sorry for him.

I will do in a minute, anyway :lol:

Re: For Ian...

Thanks for that, Peter. I vaguely remember the picture from way back. As you say, it was one of my favourite destinations both in real life and in FS! There are so many ways to fly in such a small area and if you get the AI balance right you need eyes in the back of your head what with the internati...

Re: EGLL London Heathrow 1966/67

Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots, Tony. The quality brings back the feeling of being there in those days which you rarely get from the lesser quality b&w shots. I was a frequent visitor in those days on my Triumph Bonneville, killing two birds with one stone. A great bike ride combined w...

Re: Not so silly sheep

That's a nice story, Mike. Lamb sounds like quite a character. I can't remember seeing any photos yet, have we?

Americas Cup

There was a thread on these AC 72 Catamarans back in May just after the training accident that killed Andrew Simpson. The Americas Cup final has been underway for a few days now and I wonder if anybody else has been following it as it's absolutely gripping stuff. Two of these awesome machines have b...
