OH thats not good.. Did you run virus scan! Is it shutting down or just black screen. I was thinking perhaps the power source. My motherboard went out and caused that to happen a month ago or so!
Title: Beautiful cars, old and new
Post by: Seany on 08/07/2007 13:51:07
No.. It doesn't shut down.. Just a black screen and stays like that forever. I just shut the comp down with the button and boot it up again.

Had a virus scan, caught lots, and deleted them..

Stretched does not equal class. In fact, normally it's exactly the opposite. They're used by jumped-up oiks with about as much class as a classless person who's having a bad hair day.

Ah well, it takes one to know one! (Clarkson that is!)

It's a DB6 Volante SWB. I don't think that I would be driving it for speed either - purely tour-mode. For "speed" (not necessarily top speed, but "fun speed"), it would be a Lotus Exige:

I've always had a soft spot for Lotus cars.

Well, that's fair enough. It's certainly a classic! I think I'm influenced by an old girlfriend whose father had a couple of DB4's. We used to go racing at Brands, so it has some sort of evocative attachment too.

I'm wondering if your Volante has a Mustang flavour to it? The nose looks similar, at least, with the deep-set headlights.

Is that 1st 1 a Lotus Carlton? They were evil!

Yes, that's right. I know nothing of it's temperament, though he has a photo of his dashboard when he was doing about 170 - but the thing is, he was only pulling 4 or 5 thousand revs. I'm pretty sure, anyway, but it wasn't very many. I think it was the world's fastest production car for a period.

Not sure about it being the world's fastest production car, but it was certainly the fastest sports saloon by quite a margin.

I remember the police asked for it to be banned as they had nothing that could catch it.

the only reason i wouldnt want to buy this is because it is extremely heavy due to its 4" doors and because of its weight it sucks up gas. but on the up side it is impossible to break in due to bullet proof doors and glass and emergency shutters which cover the windows when parked and locked, also there is a large amount of leg room and we cant forget about that 45" plasma tv in the vault door also instead of conventional locks this uses a deadbolt to lock the doors

We've got lots of trees here. But the county I live in is probably about the same size as an American Mall.

And the tree is still living how?
Title: Beautiful cars, old and new
Post by: Karen W. on 17/07/2007 14:31:42
They are interesting trees You cut them down and they grow again right out of the stumps.. The trees that fall in a storm and lie on the forest floor also start shooting up new trees right over the  logs they are incredible trees that have survived for for thousands of years! New starts emerge from the fallen tree! I have a picture somewhere of a fallen one which has grown over again!
Title: Beautiful cars, old and new
Post by: Simulated on 17/07/2007 14:34:22
Wow..When I'm living by myself or with a girl I'll have to go over there and check them trees out! That's different!

This is called "coppicing". It's actually quite rare in conifers - I think there are only 3 conifer species that re-grow like this. There are many broadleaves that do this like willow for example. This is why it is being used for biomass production, as it saves re-planting costs and a coppice "stool" (the part that stay after cutting) has a large root, so grows very quickly. Coppicing goes back a long way in history, and was used for many building materials, as well as for charcoal production.
