leviramsey Posted June 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) It's all relative Levi It's classifications in the anglophone world are compact (North America) and small family car. Not a leap from either to tiny. Of course, there was a day when the Oldsmobile Cutlass ...was classed as a midsize car (for reference, my 1993 Cadillac is shorter but slightly heavier) Edited June 21, 2013 by leviramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'm calling Godwins... I'm tempted to read through the entire thread and see how many times the Nazis are mentioned. Tempted, but I probably won't. DEFINITELY won't. Call it and I'll call VillaAjax's law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2013 People who abuse Godwins. Yeah I know, wrong thread Godwins is the inappropriate use of the nazis in a discussion. As VW were actually formed by the Nazis and it's the reason Ajax won't drive one, this is a fairly appropriate reference to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Q1 could the Jeep be converted to amphibious use? Q2 how the merry **** did the yanks get away with ripping off our wonderful innovative Land Rover design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 The jeep was far more nimble but slightly more fragile when being shot at. I'll go for the Kubelwagen seeing as there's a great picture of my Grandad sitting on the bonnet of one with his Luftwaffe mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) how the merry **** did the yanks get away with ripping off our wonderful innovative Land Rover design? The first Willys MB Jeeps were produced in 1941 with the first civilian models in 1945, making it the oldest off-road vehicle and sport utility vehicle (SUV) brand. It inspired a number of other light utility vehicles, such as the Land Rover. Jeep = 1941 Land Rover = 1948 Edited June 21, 2013 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I feel as though we don't get enough coverage of the North Sea. Irish Sea, Atlantic, the Channel - all pop up on T.V quite often. But I've never seen the North Sea much. Seen from England, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Can I overdoes on antihistamines? Yeah. There's post of mine about it somewhere. I'm not doing it a third time. Here's one. i don't believe you can. i suffer from various major allergies, and regularly take 2-3 different anti-histamines in a day, especially as 1 on its own doesn't always work. (obviously, i'm talking about the non-drowsy ones, if you take too much of the drowsy ones i would assume you'll fall asleep!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 So 5 1/2 years for Jeremy Forrest bonkers decision or the correct one ? I think it's a bit steep. He's not a paedophile and not a child abuser. He abused a position of power and exploited the girl and that is unacceptable. Running away with her was born ur of fear but such a bad idea. Definitely worth a prison sentence, but maybe not 5.5 years. Really good article on it here though. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jeremy-forrest-girl-arent-romeo-1974467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
