    Dear Comrades,

    Now that the City Of London has taken the mantle of Financial Centre To The World and toppled New York, it would appear that this Supercar Sector has more and more English and UK F-40 Ferrastii. Am I mistaken, or has the indigenous American population been overwhelmed by the UK F-40 contingent. It looks like it - what are the facts, anyone know?

    With kind regards,

    Dear English Comrades,

    As there has been no response from the American contingent of F-40 Ferrarattii one can only presume that we have indeed overwhelmed them :)

    With kind regards,

    Dear Comrade 512 Tea Are, there is no doubt that in your case, it is maDnanimous as opposed to maGnanimous :)

    I would say the English are victorious as you have worn us down as only you can.

    Have a wonderful Sunday night. If you get American football, I would suggest you partake in the Chargers / Patriots game. It is quite entertaining.. Brady has just been intercepted at the goal line.

    Dear Comrade rodsky,

    Yes, very soon now we shall have our colony of The United States of America returned to the sovereignity of our English Queen.

    Our petrol (gas) that is now eleven dollars per gallon will no doubt be reduced to that of our colonists in America. Our sales tax will be reduced from seventeen and a half per cent to five per cent again in line with those in our colony in America. (And yes, our petrol (gas) is indeed eleven dollars per gallon) Our electricity has recently gone up by twenty per cent. Our gas by a similar amount. Accordingly, and even if we were able to watch American football, we would not be able to afford to turn the television on to watch it.
    I am presently listening to the wireless in a darkened room lit merely by the gentle flames of a log fire. I await to here from our illustrious government as to when such a luxury will be taxed.

    It's right on the witching hour here in England (midnight). It hasn't rained today. If it is dry tomorrow and there is no frost compassed hereabouts, I shall venture into the hinterlands of our beautiful countryside.

    With kind regards,

    512 Tea Are

    512 Tea Are, Is it true that all private individials have had thier firearms taken away from them and it is illegal to own such? Sorry about the off topic-but fear of revolt from within as to the tax flogging is thus further removed. Should've thought of that one sooner :)

    I hope they send these to UK, slapping turbos on for cheap power is a technological fallback to an inadequate engine design

    Dear Comrade carsinxs,

    In England we are forbidden to hold arms My understanding of this is that with the possession of guns, an ochloracy could then hold the muzzle to the heads of the government - more particularly the Prime Minister and the Chancellor Of The Exchequor; thus to inveigle them into reducing the price of petrol (gas) from eleven dollars per gallon to something commensurate to our American colonists.

    How much is petrol per gallon within the United States of Anerica, please?

    Wth kind regards,

    512 Tea Are

    Around $3.60 - $3.70 for premium in California, which I think is the most expensive in the Nation (or at least up there). Now the US gallon is only 3.78 litres. I think in UK you use the imperial gallon which may be more than the US gallon. But still. Your gas is at least 250% more than the US. I hope you had the opportunity to take the beast out today.

    Dear Comrade rodsky,

    Yes, you're perfectly correct in that upon checking I have established that the US Gallon is indeed, as you say, 3.78 litres. The imperial gallon I am informed is 4.54 litres - quite a difference.

    Regretfully, rain yet again deterred any potential of frenetic activity of a turbocharged nature. However, the time will yet again come when the child of Vulcan, god of fire, hits the road spewing forth an eruption of flames from its central exhaust . . . . . I really need a huge mirror at the rear of the car to establish whether this does indeed happen :)

    With kind regards,

    Dear Comrade RED HEAD,

    Yes, a very good idea! We can use my local Grand Prix circuit colloquially known hereabouts as the A31 dual carriageway :)

    drive in the dark. you may see a yellow burst in the rearviews upon shifting. Initially thought a police car was behind me when I did this with my 7th injected RUF! To my delight it was merely the flames from the exhaust!

    Dear Comrade carsinxs,

    It's fitted with the cat's and standard exhorcist pipe - isn't this likely to impede the flame throwing?
