Port hashed a conspiracy at codeproject for example? (9)
Guess it was a sh*t clue as I only had 60 seconds to put it together but thought the fact the word was staring you in the face (highlighted tab at top of page) it would be gotten.
port = com
conspiracy = mutiny
hashed = munity
codeproject = community

Possibly Com is a bit outdated for port these days ( I was thinking Calais, Dover ) 😉

Yeah forgot all about it. Hollering doesn't work if I have e-mail and notifications turned off.

I'm not sure if your email is still valid - I only have the Seagate one, and I assume that died last year when the factory closed. It did close in the end, didn't it?

I'm actually Health and Safety and Quality Control manager for a glass company. I know, long story which I did plan to post about but never got around to doing so. But the short story is it was only meant to be a stop gap but then the ex got heavily into drugs, the children came to live with me, this company allows me to work around getting the kids to school etc so I've stayed.

Good company! 
Sorry to hear that - hope the kids are OK. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Yeah they are better off with me. It's not set in stone yet...but fingers crossed.

No - my car is faster and looks better. I'm not a fan of gimmick cars, or the S550 body style, but I wouldn't mind having that GT350 they were standing next to.

Why don't those c**k-knockers show me a series of still photos from different angles and allow me to view their sh*tty video if I want to. Instead the arse bandits want to auto play the shite. F***'em.
And while I'm at it, Mozilla, have you got a clue? Installed the en-gb edition, selected en-au as my preferred language and still you have no idea what the word arse is. It ain't mispelt.

700 horse power? Wimps! The Merlin ran up to 1,880 - and it's been put in a car before. Not sure about the fuel consumption, though, at 27 litres.

Maybe that's the reason Spitfire can fly and Mustang not?

I think the edge would be given to the pilot that can best exploit the pros of his aircraft while exploiting the faults of the opponent's aircraft.
Generally, a Spitfire has the edge at low altitude because it's hella more maneuverable than a P-51.
You also have to factor in the revision of the given aircraft.
P-51's were designed for bomber escort duties, and Spitfires were designed for bomber interception. I think a more appropriate comparison would be a Spitfire and a F6F Hellcat or F4U Corsair.

The car doesn't have a rate of climb, nor any armament/armor to speak of, so it's a wildly unfair comparison.

Admit it though, there're times you wish you had a bank of forward firing machineguns to deal with some of the morons you're forced to share the road with though. 
My biggest pet hate are the sunshines who seem to think it's ok to drive with the windows on at least 3 sides completely whited out with snow or heavy frost (I've seen a few that were almost completely whited out on 4 sides trying to peer through a palm sized hole immediately above the dash vent).  I'm sure yours is something different.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Hah thats me, get in the slow lane, don't change lanes, stick to a safe speed (probably not the limit in those conditions) and keep going shudder.
Actually I recently drove a 9 seater mercedes bus through the French Alps during a blizzard where your only reference were the snow poles and guard rails. Scared the crap out of the passengers but I thought it was a great adventure.

Was it a functioning car? With that sort of fuel guzzling, I'd assume they'd need to use a small tanker truck chassis to be able to get from one gas station to the next.

I remember when the Dodge Charger Hellcat first came out, some articles were pointing out that it could empty the gas tank at wide-open throttle in under 15 minutes.
[Edit]
Found one such article. 18.5 gallons in 13 minutes. Mind you, wide-open throttle isn't quite the same as daily driving.

yup, and I've seen similar numbers for other stupidly mega powered engine supercars. In terms of sucking the tank dry in minutes there's not much different between the Hellcat and a Bugatti Veyron; admittedly the latter does go a lot higher on the conspicuous consumption/money to burn scale.

For normal driving, the Hellcat is still rated at around 22 mpg. How does the Bugatti Veyron compare?
Besides, the latter is for those with money to burn. The former is, well...still "just a Dodge".
(and as an actual Dodge driver, I'm allowed to say that).
