It is well worth the trip. After two years of going and playing in ENW/CM games, and especially socialising with people from the boards, I really missed not being there this year. It's the cost of flights that kills me. Accommodation and food is relatively cheap, even with the pound not as...

Ah, I once noticed an old car of mine parked up. I had to go over and have a look. Checking on the DVLA database, it's been unlicensed since 31/05/2008, so I'm guessing it may have been scrapped :( I'm pretty sure my first car is scrap now (1987 Austin Mini Metro) - yes, unlicensed since...

For $5, you can't afford not to buy it!

Oh, those speedos :blush: I prefer this pic of the Hoff:

I'm guessing I missed some Americanism....?

I've thought about doing this - I've just not needed to hire a car the last two times I've been in the US. Yes, my car has a tiny speedo off to the left of centre, marked at 25, 50, 75, etc, with small dashes every 5mph. Since our speed limits are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70mph, then only one of...

OK, why on earth would anyone from a country that doesn't obsess over the Hoff need a car with a remote starter? As an aside, The Gadget Show did a great piece on making a telepresence car. They added compressed-air actuators, 4 HD video cameras and radio transmitters and receivers to a...

Why on earth would a car need a remote starter?

I saw a RHD Ford Mustang yesterday. I thought they were only available LHD?

If this were a democracy, I'd vote for this option. ;)

The OGL went away? :confused:

My employer just offered 1-12 months vacation on 25% pay. Tempting...

Nice. We're considering moving one of our games from 3e to 4e, and one of the characters is a Monk. It was surprisingly easy to extract the preview material from the Compendium. D&DI Monk Class D&DI Monk Powers

X-Type Jag is basically a tarted up Ford Mondeo. The new Jags, like the XF, XR and XJ are really nice. The X-Type... not so much...

Yeah, that's caused some problems with transmissions - see the problems they had trying to get a two-speed gearbox to cope in the Tesla. It will be interesting to see how the technology and engineering develop. Currently you can get nearly as quick acceleration from a Lotus Elise SC, for a...

I saw an Aston Martin DBS driving past me today. OK, it's not a muscle car, but it looks and sounds drop-dead gorgeous!

In 2007 and 2008 I think I started looking in January, and kept checking prices until July when I booked. They didn't vary by much, so now is as good a time as any to book. It may be different flying from London, but from up here the choice of carriers is more limited, and a connecting flight...

Well, we have our Star Trek Communicators, so I'm expecting Transporters real soon now...

I just did a quick check of flight prices, and they come to $1200, so I guess I'm just going to have to wait till next year.

Thanks for the explanation - I'd heard of Muscle Cars and Pony Cars before, but hadn't realised that one was a sub-category of another. Yeah, I like small, lighter cars, although I'm now appreciating the extra torque of a bigger engine.
