Roco

Darn it , page unobtainable, guess I will never know !

:lol: , Yeah it didn't work for me either

I never saw the problem(maxthon browser ), but got slow results from speed tests

The Africar, the car for the native African,the project, fell flat on it's face after the natives discovered TOYOTA, and who can blame them been around the little Citroen's since 1969 , far to many years for anyone, I used to deliver cars for MG, (moonlighting ) and got asked to collect a 2CV from Brussels, it was a van with a top speed of 55 mph , I hated the thing, but got paid well, some years later I had a wife, mortgage and child , the usual starting family life crap, and a car that did 18mpg , I got offered a 2cv real cheap, ($180 ) that had a problem, (1 spark plug ) and at 55mpg , I kinda got reluctantly got hooked from then on, last year I had a drive of a Ferrari testarosa, and was glad to get back into the 2CV Yeah I lead a sad life , and must get out more My motto, if you can pull a bird in a 2CV, she must be keen

Yeah, I know some girls like that My first Puter win 3.1 with a massive 8MB ram , I nervously upgraded it to 16Mb , and put win 95 on, I could make a sandwich and a cup of tea while it booted up oh yes they were the days ...........................not

defiantly

I second that emotion,

Did somebody say Water, can't get enough of that , BTW , good for bushes also (philp ) !

Rickman ranger ,or Africar ? , or one of 2000 derivatives, Citroen alone made more than 20 versions of the A series cars , 2cv, dyane , ami , mehari , bijou, lm, pony, grape picker. snow plough , Sahara, the list goes on and on, the whole chassis, steering ,brakes and transmision are self contained, the body is not load bearing , so any bolt on body is OK , and many kit builders took full advantage of that, also advertizing companies , just bolt on any oversize beer , wine bottle or cheeseburger and you are in bizz. P.S . what have Mr.T and Schumacher in common, they both own a 2cv ,

Hi Tommie , thanks, very interesting company, started by making Jaguar replica's , Why, nobody wants them in the UK, a friend just sold his for $180 in nice condition, it was eating him out of house and home ! Mitsuoka comp. , has a quaint way with words , " It delivers the feeling of being stoked to you as the Santa Claus does." Santa Claus better not try stoking me, I have enough problems with my Government trying to do that ,

nice find Tommie , I cant find much info for the Orochi , apart from it being a 8 headed dragon

interim update on my 8Meg upgrade (on Wed.3 Oct ) I now have a 2.2Mbps temporary connection and getting near to my phone line limit , I will have to wait to see the amazing 5Mbps, I just hope I am wrong on this , but I think this is the best I am going to get , time will tell :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 1859 Kbps about 1.86 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 227 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 176 Kbps about 0.18 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Upload Speed is:: 21 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2006/09/27 - 11:47pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-BZ6IUE8ST U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-YDR0Z67M9 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; Maxthon) [!]

I don't have a buddy signed Billie no mates only kidding , well now being Geriatric (thanks Water ) I see no point in adding names to my buddy list , as I wouldn't remember who they were anyway, for me every day is a wonderfull chance to meet new people that seem to know my name,

depends it the revenue man is about ,

Microsoft SP1a 125Mb at - http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/winxpsp1.html is the one I use for large download test , and use >task manager >networking to view the download % speed

You are right again Tommie (bored ), yeah Florida sounds a nice place , but full of winging Brits it would appear, so I will give that a miss , But I would like to see mid America , real hometown stuff, maybe I have seen too many Westerns as a kid, maybe it isn't like that anymore ? personally I dont enjoy holiday destinations very much, full of people desperately trying to have fun , many Brits go to Spain for their holiday, sit in a bar drinking beer and having Fish and Chips for dinner, and go to a English club in the evening, they come back and say Spain was great Altough I have traveled in Europe a fair bit , it was not at my cost (work ) the thought of buying my own ticket, comes as a bit of a shock, so I was hanging on in the hope of deportation, , Then if I wished I could come back using a assumed name as a refugee , and be given free housing and money to spend for the rest of my life :lol:winging Brits I think I got out of the wrong side of bed this morning

Shaft drive , nah, nothing beats a chain as it fly's past your ear P.s. shame about the knee , same as mine , so we can't swap

Thanks Water , yeah the crusade goes on , another windmill to tilt against , I am hoping to finally get deported to the USA

Hi can I rejoin , and sign in as rampant , with the emphasis on pant, I am cured and have thrown the zimmer frame away P.S. I still have my school cap, Roco UK

I have a ADSL connection of 256/128 with a leading UK commercial provider, and phone line from our national Tel co, (BT ) today I have upgraded to the ISP's ( nameless in case they follow this forum , lol ) to their 8Mg service with a cap of 2GB, I have been assured that after their check , I will receive at least 4.5Mb , in the mean time my exciting service has been upgraded to 2Mbps , and indeed I am getting 1836Kbps ave. from testmy. net test , but I know my line will not support more than 2Mgbps,having been given the Tel co (BT) test procedure from a BT engineer, so why am I doing this, knowing that I cant get more than 2Mbps, well I am tied into a contract for another year with my ISP,(expensive )so if they cant deliver the 4.5Mgps as they promised ( recorded ) I will move on to a rival uncapped 1 Mg service for $6.00 a month cheaper, I Will update this thread , as the saga continues Most UK ISP are selling their services as up to 8Mb. and many customers are very unhappy paying for 8Mb and only getting 1.6Mb due to line age and length ,the ISP's falls back on the "UP TO 8Mg " so I am making my protest,

Hi Cholla , thanks for the added info on screen print ,Just been practicing, as you can tell I have had no instruction/schooling whatever, or friends to help, and at times it shows , this was the main reason for joining Testmy net , after lurking for a year or so , thanks again, Yeah kinda miss bikes big time, I allways wanted to do a tour of the states on a bike, but doubt if I will now, just been told by my Doc that my knee will stay the same from now on , (result of a motor X incident 40 years back , the other guy broke his neck, so I ain't complaining , so I limp a little , thats life , ( I might change my name to Chester ) my order of favorite things Gliders Motorcycles cars Bicycles boats and if I had my life again , well yeah, I would do it all again, enough whinging, us Brits are good at that Harleys and Gold wings , we don't have the road conditions for them , but a good motor X m/c made road legal is bliss, light and with good handling,

256K, although I got around 160 K before this upgrade Strange thing is I get faster speeds in tests to the states than i do to UK and europe, ping to Dallas around 113m/s, on my 256/128 I get within 5% to testmy.net

Tommie no offence taken, maybe just a bit about "sometimes " :lol: only kidding, wow my ISP has ramped up my 256Kbps connection to 2Mbps , before the swap to 8mbps next week, it just means I can get into trouble that much faster p.s. my money is on I will see no better than 2Mbps , time will tell on that

don't blame you there Shugs,I don't like the look of my relations either anyways we have laws against that in the UK, although I understand you dont have down in the South ,

Hey hold on Tommie, weve got,...... er ...............and .................. I'l get back to you on that , just don't hold your breath ,
