I bought the High Roller Too nearly 6 years ago from Steffano and recently sold it to a guy from Vancouver Canada. When I sold it in June the car had a 514 cu in Keith Black aluminum engine, Big Brodie heads etc. & dyno'd @ 692 hp.

What a hoot, at one time or another, every gear head should own or drive a straight axle Gasser.

Last Friday on Belgium’s Florennes Air Force Base, a maintenance tech accidentally fired the Vulcan 20mm gun on the F-16 jet he was working, destroying another F-16

Ooops! Did I do that? (Erkl)

The Vulcan 20mm cannon fires 6600 rounds per minute... it's a good bet to say a hundred or more were fired. 110 per second.

Both the Vulcan 20mm cannon and the Avenger 30mm cannon (3900 rounds/minute - used on the A10 Warthog) were developed by General Electric . . . "we bring good things to life."

General Electric also made the F110 engine on that plane. I've welded many turbine compressor parts for those engines. Now I'm making tooling to make compressor parts for those engines.

Nice car, but you would think that they could get that lower molding to line up better.

So do they now put a kill sticker on the side of the F-16 that fired the shots? He did technically down another aircraft.

Aardvark is the only company that makes paper straws commercially in the U.S.

1) Should have a black stripe inside the rally I centercap "dome";

2) Finned portion of the hood scoop nosepiece (aka "ornament") should be black, not body color

Dell has just released a 49-inch, 5120 × 1440 resolution (32:9 aspect ratio) curved, brilliant 350 cd/m² monitor that supports 99% of sRGB (1.07 billion colors) with a 1000:1 contrast ratio with a 5-ms response time IPS panel.

Tragic. Likely not true though. It is either wheels down or weight on wheels that prevents the gun from firing on US made fighter/attack aircraft. :shocked::hmmm:

My goodness, that is a beautiful shot!:cool2:

How much moola?

Sam, I'm sure you know what happened to the carrier Forrestal in '67 in Subic Bay. A deck hand fired a missile from a Phantom on deck, igniting other planes and nearly burned the ship down. No such safeties at that time.


I was on the fire brigade on that ship in '71 and believe me, they took their job seriously!


Verne:flag:

Agree -- WOW switch/system was disconnected or bad ... no way that M61 should have fired ... should not have used another F-16 for bore sight ... TAZ

Versailles Edition… 1976 Continental Mark IV. This was the car that the 1975 Mass. million dollar lottery winner bought. How do I know? I repossessed it while working for Ford Motor Credit Co. An 18 year old sailor gets off his ship, buys a $1 lottery ticket and wins. Gets $50,000 a year for 20 years. He fell pray to every scheme that came along and used up his first 50 grand in 3 weeks. Never made his first car payment. We had a rule at FMCC: you miss your first payment - the car gets repo'd immediately.

A replica of the RMS Titanic was first announced in 2012 but was suspended due to financial constraints. Now that the financial issues have been resolved, the owners Blue Star Line announced that work on the luxury Titanic II has continued.

More importantly, the ship will set sail on a two-week maiden voyage in 2022 from Dubai to Southampton.

ZHUHAI, China — China on Tuesday opened the world's longest sea-crossing bridge linking Hong Kong to the mainland, a feat of engineering carrying immense economic and political significance.

Chinese President Xi Jinping presided over a ceremony in the city of Zhuhai to open the 55-kilometer (34-mile)-long bridge linking it to the semi-autonomous regions of Hong Kong and Macau

You couldn't pay me enough to take that trip....
