The biggest topic of intrest this month has got to be the super charged Stag 200+ BHP and running on the road. All credit to Tony Hart for still trying out new ideas and developing them for us Stag drivers.

How the Forum makes the world of Stag ownership much smaller and allows you to have friends all around the world without actually meeting them!

Reference Pommie Stag recent post or Terry in tenerife etc.

Stuart:dude:

Or even today, a question from a member in Toronto answered by a member in Australia - that must be a distance record! Justr goes to show the truly global nature of the forum.

I don't want to pick hairs Steve, BUT, the distance Cairns to Toronto is a mear 14835 km (approx), from Cairns to London is approx 15170 km, we do the distance record on a daily basis!

I'm not called Marco Polo for nothing!

However I agree that it is fantastic that the forum has become truly international with the addition of regular input from members in Belgium, Canada and the USA.

Ah Raoul, thats's because I'm measuring the distance on my Desk Mat atlas of the world where it's 17 inches from Cairns to Toronto, whereas the distance to London is a mere 11 inches!

Is the world round then?

A fancy way of saying how a spherical globe has to be manipulated to fit on a flat piece of paper. Which is why countries nearer the poles look bigger on a flat World Map than they do on a globe atlas.

"Is the world round then?"

Unfortunately this why us mariners had to learn spherical trigonometry. :?:?
