Earth vs the Spider....old movie.

One the best running gags of Keeping Up Appearances was the old Cortina backfiring. Apparently, the backfire sound wasn't just a sound effect added postproduction, they would rig the tailpipe with a gunpowder charge and set it off to create the smoke, sparks and explosive sound.

The first of my friends in high school to get a car had one of those, but it was the 4.1 litre straight six Ghia, I don't think they had that engine in the UK. At a time when most of us were getting Geminis, Corollas, and Datsuns, that Cortina was pretty cool.

Some UK Cortina's got the Essex V6 from the Capri, but certainly not with the OHV Falcon inline 6. The model prior to this was when they started putting the Falcon engine in the Cortina, basically to compete with Torana. It was apparently a death trap due to the catastrophic understeer.

My Auntie had a orange one and she would fang about with us kids in the back.

I have been watching an online class posted by Yale on the "Dark Ages" (476 to 1000 CE). They are not posting the smaller study groups led by graduate students that covers material in detail.

I watched a great doco on the P-61 Black Widow night fighter a couple of days ago. I remember making a big model kit of it back in the 80s, a 1:48 Monogram from memory.
