adjust back brakes

This would be an American car, yes?

You may be better asking in an American group as few here will have ever seen a Cougar. Having googled for pictures, I'm glad to say I never have either!

Do they not have self adjusters in America yet?

I'm pleased to report that they have better education (it's 2006, HTH) and manners than you're displaying...

Really? So why is an American posting about an American car in a United Kingdom biased newsgroup?

If it wasn't for us, you people would now be discussing car maintenance in German.

And if it wasn't for us you'd be doing the same in Japanese...

Who is "us", Plowman?

So would you.

Troll. At least snip the alt.astronomy - preferably don't feed it at all.

ROFLMAO. You only came into the war after we'd done all the hard work.

Talking of wars, isn't it strange how every one you have fought on your own you have lost apart from Grenada? Makes me laugh. In 1982 our forces travelled 10,000's of miles to the other end of the globe and kicked the shit out of a foreign invader who was technologically equal and only 300 miles from home in little over 2 months despite having less than 1/3 of the troops. You couldn't manage it in a country technologically in the stone age with several hundred thousand troops and you even spent a decade trying.

Come to think of it, even with the one you currently have help in, you're getting your arses kicked far worse than we are.

In fact, I can't recall the last war Britian lost however every time the US Forces set foot in Asia, they get their arses kicked by farmers with WW1 bolt action rifles.

My gawd your thick if you can't read a sig...

Hey - don't rile him up.

Remember in the first Gulf War we lost more men to the Yanks than to the Iraqi's...

What does your signature have to do with "us", Plowman?

Do you sign your cheques like this? -

Who is "we", Conan?

Sounds like more pommie chest beating. How does it feel to be so emasculated over no longer being significant on the world stage?

You mean like in Singapore, conan? AOL!!!

Yeah, Asia. Funny that. Singapore! AOL!!

The only time my Dad saw a Yank in Burma they were bombing him!

Isn't Mike Baldwin dead?

Bruce was only killfiled, not killed.

That's the problem of cross posting from another country. You simply don't understand things...
