    Are We Alone?

    Cannot say if the thing i saw was piloted or where it came from. But damn, a 150/200 meters long grey cylinder hoovering 50 feet high, 800 meters away for minutes still ask me some questions. After 2 or 3 minutes, witnessed an "interception" by a plain white, bearing no identification marking...

    If a WWII fighter engine were produced with today's technology, what would we get?

    Greg : sure, Suzuki will never make it. Only a private team of crazy guys could. I know racers/replica building is a real tough job. Warbirds and racers racing are parts of US culture, the lack of proper propellers available should alert some investors I think. Wuzak : Yes, a modern car...

    If a WWII fighter engine were produced with today's technology, what would we get?

    For a WWII a/c replica, an X48 based on the Suzuki 1000 Gsx-r group is, to me, an exciting idea, maybe unexpensive and powerfull. Wonder if theorical performances could be achieved (2400 Hp and 144 M/Kg torque) with this atmo engine. Wonder what turbocharging, common crankshaft, boost...

    Ideal rifle for ww2?

    Rifles, would vote Garand M1, love this powerfull big piece of steel and wood, regreting M14 coming bit late. Gewher 43 shoots fine, is as powerfull, reliable and accurate. Regret the poor, irregular German military loadings.

    silly wife challenge.

    Reminds me some parts of my life. Are you sure about her love for you ? If any doubt, talk with her. If you feel her unhonest and fleeing the right questions, kick her out of your life. Yes, Women needs much attention, and Boys are supposed and like (I do, do you ?) To afford her this...

    THe best song/lyrics writer?

    Can understand. It's ok with me. So : E.A Poe's french translator, Charles Baudelaire should do the trick in poetry, talent and drugs too.

    5cm and 7.5cm Bordkanone

    Absolutly right Dave. It may be a simple personal thought of my own that fighting in such a small death coffin, I personaly would prefer a good, confident,reliable comrade than an autoloader. An autoloader cannot help for crew extraction in case of fire or battle damage. A crew fellow can...
