Just checked and I have it. Yeehaaaaaa! Mine'll go like fluck, much faster than Andybonk's gay, weedy petrol! :b2:
I stand corrected - Sport Plus, not Super Sport.

Read the manual carefully about using it as you have to cool the transmission after.

I only used it once to see what it was like.

It was good.:eeeeek:

A bit of a weird one john..... if you put an emoji between parentheses this happens....

:)couch:)

Above was typed as 'left parentheses' followed by the hiding behind couch emoji then 'right parentheses'.

As in ( :couch: ) without the gap.

As an aside, is there a singular for 'parentheses'?

You live and learn...

The singular form is parenthesis, but the plural parentheses is the word you’re more likely to see. Both words have a wide range of related meanings, and what some people identify as a parenthesis, others callparentheses.

Actually that emoji is a listed option.. All emoji commands are just a group of key strokes... You happened to put the set in that gave you :)couch:)

It still amazes me that we got a man on the moon.

Only by luck and the pilots skill !
The on board computer was about 1/5th as powerful as that fitted in an EFI blackbird !

Amazingly I believe that 11 or 12 men have walked on the moon , not just one :)
But like has been said many times, no one remembers the names of those who followed, only the first... Neil Armstrong, we salute you

When they were doing the coding for the onboard guidance systems, they initially used figures for Earth's gravity. Good job someone spotted that before lift off...!

Yer, but there are thousands of Blackbirds out there that have done more than 600,000 miles and are still going
I would love NASA to try and relaunch any of the vehicles used to get to the moon and back

It cost $25 billion per moon shot ( average )
A Bird cost about $12000 in the US

So you could but 2,083,333 Birds for the same price or roughly 2,270,000,000 reg recs or gens for the same money
I think that makes a Bird look like a bit of a bargain

I would have a Saturn V rather than 2,083,333 Blackbirds all day, every day and twice on Sundays.

I can believe that 2.27bn reg/recs and generators have been sold for Blackbirds.
