I think my favourite drink was diet Solo.

I think it was an advert for Malboro I saw in Canada in 2002.
There was a dude sitting on a lounge/sofa under the wing a of a prop driven bomber. (A Lancaster? No idea.) He checks his watch, gets up and enters the cockpit. Maybe he has a dog with him. He goes through the start up procedure, moves this bomber a couple of meters forward so that the shadow from the wing is over the lounge/sofa.
He sits back on the lounge and lights up his cigarette.
It was such a cool advert.

I was in college when Coke admitted defeat and changed their recipe to Pepsi. Good times.

What I don't get is how I can go to the store and buy a 12 pack of Pepsi made with real sugar everyday for the same price as the HFCS version, yet Mexico is the only place on earth allowed to make original sugar sweetened Coke and it cost $15 a bottle?

Fire. Then cover it with more dirt and tamp it down. That is what we used to do on the ranch. You can also run your garden house over to it and flood it.

Was watching some DK videos and found this. Very interesting about how the N/A setup with 100Kg less was able to dominate the Turbo setups in time attack. Then again, power is meaningless without balance.

It's interesting to hear them bitch about what I think is now called ice mode in the ABS. I've never experienced it but I imagine it would feel pretty sketch.
