Mongo, I looked at a discussion that was on recently and wow.. do you recall this comment you made on the 13 th of this month, "While no one here as said this, I find it funny that when something bad happens the same person will say "it's not the gun it's the person" and "it's the drugs not the person. My belief is that it's the person on both. If you want to shoot someone or have the personality that craves an altered state of mind, you'll find a way... regardless of the law against it. So I'm pretty open on owning guns (not magazines). Though I do think a background check for all guns should be mandatory no matter where you buy it and I wouldn't decriminalize crack, heroin etc.. Guess I'm not a total libertarian" I would ban all guns, they are obscene and evil . How many guns in the USA have actually saved a life versus murder, suicide or accidental death, often involving children; and just how does the rest of the western world manage to get by without a gun for everyone.

What the hell does abortion choice have to do with the mass slaughter of innocents at school by a gunman with an assault rifle? How many times does this have to happen before you think things have to change, would you change your view point it it was a realtion/loved one or friend that was killed there on Friday? Although facts are obviously not your strong point here are a few for you : The UK gun murder rate last year was 14 versus almost 10,000.00 in USA, that is murder, not accident or suicide which would put it through the roof here.Most of the western world does very well without the 2nd Amendment, which if you happen to read it says : "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".This was at a time when it took over a minute to load a musket and hopefully hitting something with it, try a mass murder with one of those and the only deaths would from laughing at you. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_wit_fir-crime-murders-with-firearms http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/12/14/chart-the-u-s-has-far-more-gun-related-killings-than-any-other-developed-country/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate Should have expected as much when I saw "Texas".

Of course people will break laws, that is why we have a judicial system. The point is here, not that anything will be perfect, but that the current system in not working.

It will be very interesting to see if this latest depraved obscenity is enough to create any changes. After Columbine , Gifford and others there were similar outcries but nothing much has changed. It is obvious that most politicians to date have been afraid to touch this regardless of what they might mumble about; if this slaughter of innocents is not the tipping point then what is?

But much of the rest of the world seems to function just fine with very strict gun laws.

Mongo, I hope that gun control is not controversial much longer and that we have reached the tipping point for a total ban of guns.

Jagger is 69, (how the hell does he still move like that?) Townshend is 67 Macca is 70 Daltrey is 68 Watts is 71, the oldest old man of the bunch

Sad thing is that many of the top historic domestic tool brands have lowered quality with Chinese manufacturing, I can not see that many tools being passed down from generation to generation.

I would like to share a personal experience with my closest friends about drinking and driving........ As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for an evening with friends and had a couple of cocktails and some rather nice red wine. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before ~ I took a cab home. Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.

Well put

is to drop a few pounds by the owner.

Fkn mind blowing really !

The 7 was designed in the fifties , even then it was about as basic and minimalistic as a sports car could be. Can it be used as an every day car nearly 60 years later with a design not that much changed? Well I guess it can if you come at this from marathons and motorbikes and youth. I loved my '59 Frog Eye Sprite, that was my daily driver with rotted foot wells that had ciggy butts floating in the rain. I loved my 57 MGA, even when the whole convertible top flew off at 60 mph while trying to impress my new girl friend. So , if I was under 25, not so lazy, cynical, grumpy, and fearing the worst , then yes I might just do it. But for me at pushing 60, fair weather friend that I look at in garage , lovingly tap good night, then dream on to drive when the sun is out, is about as good as it gets right now.

Any one of the 3 exhaust pipes is bigger than the Jet Turbine poking out the rear. And is that an 10 year child's spelling aid toy on the passenger dash? Oooh, did he just cut the steering wheel in half for that Bat Look? You have to keep looking.... I just found the red Bat Phone and a Detect A Scope.

Ha, I thought it is so terrible that after a while it grows on you like a piece of folk art.

Made me smile... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/One-Off-66-Batmobile-Tribute-car-Ford-Batman-car-/281032188667?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item416ed2e2fb#ht_545wt_1163

what will the weight be?

Why would you want to bring politics into a general sevens question, there is a sub-forum below just for that. And when you talk of " Commie-California" , have you ever lived in a communist country? I have, it was a just a little bit different to California. Wish you well with your registration issues.

Did you get to see what the gauges were in front of the passenger ?

Do you think the horizontal bar would catch on arms/shoulders?

less than that I would think.
