Trains have very loud horns and they > use them when coming to a crossing. They are required to use the horn at every crossing (in WA anyway) even if the crossing has lights, bells and boom gates. People still get run over. Theo

Believe me, I carry a > reminder of that theory with me every single day. So does my brother. A "new Australian" who bought his liscence, turned right in front of my bro on his Jawa split twin. It took 2 weeks before the surgeons decided to try and keep his right foot. I will never forget going to the hosp to see him writhing in pain. Ohh yeah, the NA went back to the old country straight before they could arrest him. Jason

Yeah,..Al's due for his antipsychotic,....but you have a good point,..I love the sound of a loud Ford V8, and if I could get away with it, I run open pipes on it (when I had it),..the difference is, people love the sound of a V8 as opposed to a Harley twin POS. Wank zone ahead>> The FMX trans on the 351c was slow to do any control input change,...this leant itself to do all sorts of things,..like back to neutral,..raise the revs slightly and notch it seamlessly into 2nd (from Drive), then back off and get that lovely "pop, pop, crackle" breakfast cereal sound :-) As much as hate what Ford are doing here with the Falcon, (4 cyl Falcon??!!)..they doooo know how to make a lovely V8 sound.
