Ha.......it took me my freshman, sophmore, AND junior year to pass algebra I for god's sake.

Got my (work) medical results today, all ok - there's a history of raised cholesterol in parts of my family so got that checked too turns out my level is 4.0 mmol/L. <5mmol/l is a good result. Gonna treat myself to lots of fatty food this weekend. What would you suggest as a suitably dedecant meal? Either home cooking or stuff to buy in, doesn't matter which as long as I can feel I shouldn't be eating it

I'm partial to osso bucco, myself.

you know mark, most people aren't proud of that.

I likely would have done better if I'd paid attention or did ANY homework while I was there. I make no bones about being a high school screw up.

More to life than grades.

[Mark]

True.....I was made famous in my yearbook for the most time spent in detention, the most tardy, and the most absent.

Then there were the rumors of my other.............conquests.

In public school, bullies generally carried sidearms.

Had a meal in McDonald's for the first time in ages today. I'm vividly reminded of why I swore never to go there again. The burger tasted like fucking cardboard.

Our equivalent, the Ford Probe. Started in 1989

negative. the ford probe was sold over here as well. it came as a turbo and an na I-4 and later a DOHC V-6. the probe was a smaller front wheel drive car. the Thunderbird was a Big rearwheel drive monster. Origionaly available in the lx model with the 3.8l NA boat anchor v-6 or a Supercharged variant of that motor. later T-Birds were equiped with the venerable 5.0L V-8 then the new 4.6L V-8. with the V-6 as an option throughout and the "Super Coupe" supercharged package running until '95.

I personally own a 1990 Thunderbird Supercoupe and i run about 17-18 PSI of boost. and i gotta tell you its one of the best cars ford ever made. if ford produced a car like it today i would buy it imediatly

for your entertainment i have some of my teardown/ build up pictures:



Me, yes i like to work on my car with no shoes on, yes i did end up regreting it




dropping the head on


Take note of Cyl # 3 (the one on the right) and how it looks alittle different. the headgasket blew on this cylinder. the coolant seeping tnot the cylinder actually hase a kind of "steam cleaning" effect on the piston when its running.

thats the only Euro Sports car they sold, the Probe that is. Personally, I am more of an executive car liker than a sports car liker. Then again, I dont drive

Another thing i've noticed, derailing from the thread title, is that I seem to be the only person i know from England that really likes plain and simple American cars, luxury and Family saloons and the like. I dont know any other person around here that likes cars from...Buick...or Mercury..or even the American versions sold by European car makers.
