That is exactly my point. You like the 60's era shape, and even the Ford GT doesn't do it for you. Again, take it to the next level - not only do some like the shape, but they want there replica to be as close to original as possible. Not just shape, but everything. Hence, a CF Tornado, an...

It's really all in the mind. For example, when you first came aboard, you talked about not wanting a Lambo or Ferrari, but would spend the same amount on a replica GT40 with many improvements to get to the same power/performance level of those two. Why? Why not get the Lambo? Why spend that...

George, First, his name is Michelangelo (as in Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni), not Michael Angelo or whatever. Second, there are people who want to get as close to original as their wallet allows, but obviously cannot spend the money necessary to purchase an original. So, as...

Congrats on the new addition to the family Dave. I have three rugrats of my own, the littlest is about to turn two. Ian

I was referring to the libel issue. In that case, the roles are reversed. Roush is the accuser and Glenn is the defendant. So, indeed, Roush has to prove that Glenn's statements are false. The only way to do that is to prove that a Roush employee did not wreck the car. There are several ways a...

The onus would be on Roush to prove that Glenn's statements are false, which in effect, would mean that they have to prove they did not damage the vehicle. Ian

Using Handbrake and VLC is actually pretty easy. Ian

This is all I have: "'MkV' was chosen to designate the mildly up-dated model, the monocoque chassis of which was re-designed to enable fabricated construction (the originals had used pressed panels). Modern technology in the form of zinc chromate corrosion proofing ensured a longer life than...

Just for some clarification (based upon my understanding of things): There is a reason why the Safir MkVs command a price premium (and, to note, if one were to replicate a MkV, you are basically replicating a MkIB/Gulf car with some minor changes). The MkVs made by Safir in the 80's are...

Just renaming the extension is not 100% guaranteed to work. VOB files can have other formats embedded in them (for subtitles, other audio encoding for example) that are not part of the mp4 standard. Even the video Bob linked to states that this method may or may not work. Handbrake is very...

What platform, and what do you want it converted to? Ian

Wikipedia is actually a "community" effort - articles are actually submitted and updated by the general Internet populace. It is a "self-policed" effort in that when/if someone finds an inaccuracy, they can update it themselves. However, as always, mistakes and misinformation make their way into...

Ahh, guitar and amp talk ... Thanks for bringing it up Jeff, but yeah, Boogies are really nice. I borrowed a friends Studio .22 and played with a MkIV. They have a tremendous sound, and I put them right up there with the vintage Fenders and Marshalls. And for good reason - Mesa Boogie was...

Nobody "made" the layered document from a single image on a scanner, the scanner and software did. That is what the Adobe expert is stating. The way the scanner and software perform the OCR (optical character recognition) can create layers as part of the scanning process. The only human...

In the early to mid '90s, I lived in Mission Beach down here in San Diego, half a block from the ocean. I socialized with about a dozen Navy sailors who voluntarily signed up. Over the four year period that I lived there, only two of them remained in the Navy, the rest either honorably or...

I'd like to point out that there are plenty of "dregs" who willingly enlist and "bitched the whole time they were in service, undermined their commanders and spread discontent amongst their fellow troops." Ian
