    The Sport400 has been washed, polished and zymol'd and is about to commence day 2 of running in. Today we'll be once again trying to drive through a variety of engine conditions once again keeping the engine in a free and easy rev range. Particular points to be noted today will be turbo performance and ecu training and also checking the chargecooler aka the bathtub for correct function...

    See you in about 200 miles :P

    Oh, that'll be about an hour or so unless we stop for something to eat :) :) :P

    Thanks Rob, I'll look into the Roadfly way of doing things and see if it can be integrated here. Email based discussion is not possible due to the logistics of thread based discussion, especially the timing however you can receive the forum content in a variety of email formats; per post, per thread, per room, per day, per week etc.

    The best option would be for people to move on from email based forums which are disparate at best and old technology at worst. I'm not too interested in discussion of v8 problems so here I don't have to know about them, I like a chat so there is a general chat section but people who only want tech chat don't ever have to read the banter. Perfect!

    The only content I think being lost as such at present is going into the Yahoo groups which are black holes for information. At one point I had over 15,000 emails in that inbox on my machine so I could search it locally which seemed to work better.

    Horizontal movement also has no effect on downwards acceleration due to gravity. If you have a bullet in your hand and one in a gun then drop the bullet at the same time you fire the gun (horizontally) then they will both hit the ground at the same time (err, ignoring curvature of the earth etc etc) :)

    :P That's a good one!  :P

    I thought so :P:huh:

    Surely a net isn't the best plan, they are easy to climb. I'd have thought a big upsidedown cone of glass (ok, or clear perspex for strength and the view) around the top of the tower covered in lard would make it harder to get over and out. The suicide jumpers would need to take a hacksaw or cordless jigsaw to drill a hole to get through it ;)

    Sounds like it'd be easier to stay alive :)
