Skoda was owned by the Czech Republic and was privatized in 1991 during the fall of communism. It was eventually absorbed by Volkswagen by 2000. They are made in the Czech Republic and also make components for Volkswagen.

AFAIK, looks like AC has turned to the UK and EU. New flights to London and Naples. :unsure:

The Europeans can’t stand American travellers as well for the same reasons.

The number of Canadian travellers, the largest international travelling group to Las Vegas is Way down.

Spotted this 175 Optimax on the island of Corfu, Greece.

Lost another one. Rocker Rick Derringer passed away. Remember Hang on Sloopy and Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo?

Rural Saskatchewan = loose sand and gravel. Totally understandable. :)

I happen to have PP HM in my 2005 Taurus and it looks like it may have cured an oil drip. I need to get under and take a look.

When people share experiences on bad parts they are often referring to the 90’s or earlier followed with “ I won’t use that junk again.” Well that’s 25 or more years ago. Chinese manufacturing is way better, believe it or not. I have an AC Delco “ made in China “ Professional pump that 6 is...

Why do men live shorter lives? Hold my beer and watch this.

Someone mention Mercedes? In Corfu, Greece the cabs are Mercedes.

The country of Greece just placed an order for 7 DHC-515 water bombers. The first one is scheduled for delivery in 2028. Here is a shot of the plane from Dehaviland promotional material to show how the plane is configured.

To protect Bitog you need need to say “ this video is representative of the problems occurring with the GM 6.2 engines and is useful to understand the root cause of the problem. Make it sound like it’s for education purposes and “ Bob’s your Uncle”. :D

Here’s a shot of an Aer Lingus 737 unloading at Corfu, Greece. They opened up the rear door to speed up the unloading.

I’m flying Dublin to Calgary non stop on a West Jet 787 this Sunday. I’ll try not to get into that middle seat of the middle row. :D

How are the cans in a C-130?

Another disadvantage of a 737 on a 5 hour flight is that most everyone will need to take a whiz at least once. That means anyone the last five rows (30 people) will enjoy the smell of the toilet deodorant as well as have people lining up beside your seat while you are trying to sleep.

This was 5 hours but I had noise cancelling headphones. With the food tray out, it was totally cramped.

Apparently there are currently 24 trans Atlantic flight routes that utilize a 737. I just took one. It was from Halifax in Canada to Dublin, Ireland. It’s not my favourite plane for a route over the Ocean but for certain volume routes it works. It was a 737-800/8. It had those huge overhead bins...

Correction. It’s believed the engine was a 327. Some accounts even had it a a 283, although the owner would have been a nut case not to drop in the 327 instead. With the light weight of the deuce coupe, a 327 shifted at 6,000 could have been a serious contender.
