Default Here is a blanket "THANKS" to the forum members..
Even though I didn't login based on the controversy I created by asking people not to post AFC/NFC games results in thread titles when I returned I didn't see one thread title giving it away.

For those of you who were so kind, THANK YOU!

I will buy all of you a beer at the Barn Raising.


I did watch the AFC championship from my laptop via my Slingbox. It cost me $18 in Internet charges over there. Apparently bandwidth is treated like fine wine in Europe.

The pilot was considerate enough to warn everyone before announcing the NFC score but we had watched the first half in the airport bar and we pretty much knew how that game should end.

Once again, thank you and I am sorry that I ruffled any feathers. It was NEVER my intention.

One other note: The BMW 530d is capable of over 260kph.

Yea-I miss the Autobahn myself. We had a 318D that once it got going, could run with the big dogs.

Do they chip the European cars? I though that was just an American thing.

Show me the GPS, other than that, it didn't happen.....speedos are VERY inaccurate.....and don't believe the tables about tire diameters and gearing/rpm
