my god you know so little its almost embarrassing
Most ford falcons have the 4L, infact I *think* its the smallest engine you can get in a falcon (on 5th and 6th gen anyway, 4th gen offered a small 3.2 straight 6) Holden are (Frome my experience) similarly stupidly engines, because they power output is quite frankly abysmal for such a large unit (iirc my falc turfed out 200 when it rolled off the production line, a hell of a lot less when I owned it, from a 4L 6cylinder.engine that's just ridiculous compared to what a Japanese engine can do. Same as American cars, Big country syndrome.

To be fair, I tend to dismiss Fords and Holdens as stupid cars that aren't even suited to their much-touted "V8 Supercars" tournament. They can't corner for shit, their top-end speed is, as usual, useless in everyday driving, and they don't accelerate fast enough until their turbo kicks in, at which point most cars are already at the speed limit anyway. Never mind that the people who "own" them (usually more likely to be a lease or company car) don't drive them properly. Such a waste.

So bite me. I've seen plenty of them with engines smaller than 4L around here - and the ones with larger either don't say on the car, or I've dismissed as utterly ridiculous. I'd never consider buying one, either, so haven't looked at them properly in that sense. XD

This is going to be the biggest gloat ever and particularly self-indulgent considering Messremb's bad news above (hope he's ok!) but...... My resignation from work last week should have been the start of a 3 month notice period but they are letting me go on 25th October with 3 months full pay up front instead. It is mainly because of all the trouble I've been involved in, they want me out the door quietly but it is pretty much the best thing that has ever happened. I had 1 months gardening leave at my last place and I thought I'd never get a better month off as usually when you have lots of spare time, you don't have any money. Now I won't have to work until next January!! And I've got a new house and garden that need sorting out so it is pretty much the most perfect thing ever. All those migraines and statements to lawyers have been totally worth it, I keep needing to pinch myself to be sure it's true.

I agree! I don't often win stuff. Maybe it's a good time to get the old lotto ticket that's still floating around my wallet checked.

My daughter won a kindle today for reading the most minutes over the summer. This is the second time she's won. She's in elementary school (kindergarten through 6th grade). She won the first time during the summer before first grade and again the summer before 3rd grade (she came in 2nd last year).

This probably doesn't sound particularly impressive unless you consider that she read more than any other student in the entire school, not just the 3rd grade.

I am very proud of her

That's fantastic. All I won for reading in elementary school was personal pizzas from Pizza Hut. Book It!

I won having to walk into a class of ten year olds to grab the books they were reading since I'd read the rest. I was seven. The horror.

Also I'm probably not going to be fired after Christmas! Woooooooooo

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

We had the same program in my school. They had to impose limits after a while
