We have been quite satisfied with its performance. A couple of years ago we made a conscious decision to become a one-car couple, so we picked something that we thought would be reliable. So far, so good! ID: 1000736 ·

Mine seems very reliable too. 40,000 miles this year and all I had to replace is a set of tyres! It's been great. I rented one last year over there and liked it so much I bought one as soon as I got back to England! ID: 1000737 ·

I don't think I've seen them on the roads over there. Eric and I drove a Smurf blue mighty-mighty Escort around for years! We bought it used and ran that little car around until it could not be resurrected. It got us from point A to point B with great mileage and low maintenance costs, which is pretty much what I go for in a car... I go for cars that return good mileage now due to the prohibitive cost of fuel over here. I drive a Toyota Prius, which is exactly what I have booked for over there next week too! The Radiator is a Swiftech 120x360mm model with a built in Reservoir & an MCP350 pump(10w), It's for water cooling a PC cpu and/or a gpu(s) and is meant to be mounted outside of a PC, It's too small for even My car. Above picture is of the smaller 120x240 Radiator, Reservoir, Pump model. Which is a 1999 FORD Escort ZX2 Hot Coupe in Blue(Tan Interior) which looks like the one below, Except Mines not Red. 1999 FORD Escort ZX2 The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's ID: 1000740 ·

I still wish Obama didn't cancel Project Constellation. That had vision, a goal and something to aspire to! Web feed goes live in 7 minutes. Rumor has it SpaceX is now targeting 11:20 a.m. I agree Luke. So do I. T -15 plus a 36 min hold. so expect launch at about 9:15 Ugh. It's 3:30 am here, and I haven't had any sleep. I don't know if I can stay up much longer. And the hold keeps getting longer too. Nearly an hour into the hold. Watching the stream at spacex.com, the quality is marginally better and about 4 seconds ahead of SVC.com. I'll give it another 30 minutes. Hour and a half in to the hold. Good night Luke. Well the Falcon 9 Rocket lifted off and launched the mockup capsule into Orbit.
