I can easily power the unit with the power adapter, but still no RPM and can't enter the weight into the unit so can't get any useful data out of it. *sigh* Maybe I can strap a couple of 892s to my car instead?

Non-smoking flights mah... what to do? No air bags... but got pretty stewardesses to bring us food and drinks all the time. Oxygen masks also comes in handy.

If you get a flight full of "low standard" stewardesses, then tough luck...

My apologise. Didn't mean it that way. Individually, some stewardesses are still super chio. I meant the overall average... :o

That said, SQ is still much better than most airlines out there. As an American friend pointed out, if their airlines have the same steward/stewardess selection criteria as SQ, they will be sued for discrimination... See Virgin Atlantic in Australia recently :p

Just put in TL under "Defect/Action Req'd" - "Cigarette lighter socket not found."
Who knows someone will put it in to clear it.

Heh heh... that's a good one. Anyway, it comes with a power adapter so powering the unit is not a problem. Tough part is finding a way to make it log EPR values so the final results makes sense. Also the unit needs the weight of the "vehicle" in order to calculate HP but only accepts 4 digits for weight. Alas...

A joke sent by my mother

Breast Enhancement

A woman tells her husband that she wants to have
plastic surgery to enlarge her breasts.
Her Husband says , "Hey, you don't need surgery
to do that.
"How do I do it without surgery?" she asks.
"Just rub toilet paper on them" he replies.
"But how does that make them bigger?"

"I don't know, but it sure worked for your *** !"

According to the MCS website, the sales rep only 22... So young, so pitiful.
And the test driver is only 24-yr-old. So young, so reckless.

He's a speed demon

To speed along Upp Paya Lebar Rd with construction along the stretch of the road is absurd.

How did he attain the driving License?

0-200 under 10 second....

A husband was in big trouble when he forgot
his wife's birthday. His wife told him
"Tomorrow there better be something
in the driveway for me that goes from
zero to 200 in under 10 seconds".

The next morning the wife found a small
package in the driveway. She opened it
and found a brand new bathroom scale.

One of my friends just told me that there is a Civic EG6 running a 2.2 litre vtec and does 0-400m in 11.1 seconds (car was lighten for the run, with the whole interior stripped out). Claims to have eaten a 450bhp wrx too! Somehow I can't quite believe this. Supposed to be normally aspirated with no nitrous. Anyone else heard of this monster civic?
