  1. persuade various oil producing countries not to go to war, so that the price of brent crude drops... or if you can't achieve world peace, persuade the Earth not to run out of oil in the foreseeable future...

    car crashes....

    after my first crash i didn't drive for 3 months. this was partly cos my car was totalled and partly cos i didn't have the balls. that crash was 6 years ago - i'm still wary of cars coming from my left side it teaches you respect for your car, and to know your limits

  9. i would be wary of stopping as it could be a "honeytrap" - using the stranded doris to lure you to stop, then a gang jump out and steal your car while you're helping. if i was the one broken down i would stay in the car with the doors locked and phone for help if i saw a doris stranded alone, or with children i might possibly call the Police, depending on the circumstances

  16. The rear suspension differs too - its 5 link instead of 4 link (UK spec) The car broken in Scotland was an XR6 TF. There were 2 known TF's in the UK out of 500 made. These cars are distinctive - they are white with special blue TF stripes. TF stands for Team Ford. Mid-June 1982 brought about the birth of the Cortina XR6 Interceptor. This was a real true blue Ford and has become a very sought after collectors item. This car included modified exhaust headers, camshaft, cylinder heads, high compression pistons, a 3.08 differential and, most important, three 42 Webers. This very special car also boasted 13" alloy rims. This combination became a legend on both race track and on the street. Only 250 of these were ever made. A very limited edition was the Cortina X-Ocet. The car was similar to the Interceptor except for its being fuelled by a 450 cfm Holley http://cortina80.co.uk/ford_cortina_xr6.htm
  17. i have a home network currently running 3 pc's and 2 xbox's. i have a wired modem (was NTL, now Virgin). plugged into that is a 4 port wireless router. one of the ports runs of to sam's bedroom where there is another router plugged in that has Sam's Vista pc and his Xbox plugged in. in the lounge we have 2 pc's and the other xbox plugged in to the first router. The Vista pc found the network on its own. the 2 XP pc's in the lounge found the network using the network wizard. the lounge xbox has been on the network for a year and to be honest i can't remember how we set it up. the bedroom xbox was simply plugged straight in and it found the network on its own. all you have to set up is your Windows Live id, and that is done following the simple instructions on the Xbox.
