    All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.

    Try updating the engine to a higher version. While you're at it, try installing some service packs.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    I don't think that applies to TG. I seem to remember him saying that he was one of those non-drinking types.

    Start with the basics.

    Does the dash light/gauges come on when you turn the key?
    Does it turn over at all?

    key? Oh! the Banana? No, that didn't work.

    If I push hard enough I can get one side up, but no, it doesn't turn over.

    Heh. Reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons where Dr. Nick was responding to accusations by the Malpractice Board of "Misuse of Cadavers"
