What do you think is the right amount of suspension lift for a '94 Range Rover Classic without losing its handling on road. I have a 87 Classic Range Rover with a 2 inch lift on it and big off road tyres. It has polly bushes to help with the highway bodyroll, and if you drive it as a 4WD rather than a sedan, you should keep out of trouble. The other suggestion would be wider rims and tyres, and stiffer sway/anti-roll bars. Also you can use stiffer shocks and springs, however that will effect it's off road...

Well there are so many things to take into concideration, however if you live through the crash, then at least you might get to walk away on land. More rescue people can attend a land crash than a water/sea crash. The chances of surviving a water landing isn't good, plus there may be quite some time before rescue arrives, leaving you swimming on a fairly large ocean.

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with one defective tire. The dealer says I can't replace one tire, I must replace all four. Is this true, and why? I wouldn't think so. If it is the front tire, check both front tires for wear. Generally I buy tires in twos so the tread pattern is the same and even. This improves the handling and makes stopping the car far safer. Unless it's a manufacturing fault, someones just trying to sell you things you don't need.

It's also a good one for leaving DVD/cable tv selectors/TV's combo's alone so you don't spend the next hour re-tuning the system back in.

What's the most common question asked? I guess the answer would be something along the lines of "how are you?" or "how are you going?" It's a general "closed" introduction question that is easy to answer and doesn't require any details. You can also give a false answer and no one is any the wiser.

How would you explain the reality to a kid who wants to go to the North Pole for summer vacation? It depends on the age of the child, but as they grow older they can understand things such as the North Pole is a very cold place and even in the middle of summer the temperature is still below freezing. The Santa story for me is a tough one. There's a great deal of enjoyment for young children in the notion that Santa's coming, and can be a great aide in bringing children and parents closer...

Answer to:
Is there really a difference between "having sex" and "making love"? I tend to agree with the first reply here. Having sex is in my mind, is short for having sexual intercourse. The "art" of making love may well incorperate sex, but covers a far wider field of love and sexual feelings shared between two people. I trust this is of some help to you.

How should one remove a child's urine stains from the floor of a shower? I would think that most children who have a pee in the shower, do so when the waters running.

I guess that any of the household cleaning products like White King or any tile cleaner would help make the tiles look brighter and keep them cleaner.

I think when all is said and done, It would be cheaper to sell the vehicle you have and but a four wheel drive

Did Jesus have any pets, like a dog or a cat? I don't think it mentions that Jesus ever did have pet animals. However it would not surprise me in the slightest if he did. Reading the Bible, Jesus was a kind, warm and gentleperson. Some animals would be needed in that time period, as food, milk, wool, skins many things. I think Jesus could have had a dog. They are great pets and Jesus, as a child would have loved playing with it.

Until the entire field has done their hot lap, anyone could be on the number one starting grid.

There are practice sessions as well so teams can both prepare and fine tune their cars (or repair them)

There's a site on the Internet (which I can't find at the moment, sorry) that is one guy's private celebrity's autograph collection. He finds out where celebrities are going to be and not only gets the autograph, but he takes a photo of the celebrity writing the autograph. The thing...

Did Harry Houdini really die in the Chinese water torture trick? Houdini stated that he could withstand a punch in the stomach from anyone. It is believed that given prier warning, he could flex his stomach muscles and take the hit. However a young fan asked the question and swung at him at the same time. Although at the time Houdini was winded, the blow was far more serious then at first though. In fact his appendix burst. In addition, Houdini had been in...

I am making an independent video that I intend to sell for profit. There are some scenes that include background music that I did not intentionally add. Do I have to pay royalty fees for that music? I'm not sure. It is very hard to answer some questions, without seeing exactly what it is. If you where recording scene's walking down the street or in a market place and there was music played somewhere in the background, then I think the answer is no. If you walked into a store and they where playing a song, maybe, but I doubt it. If you walked into a music store and asked for a...

Why is it called a cell phone in America and a mobile phone in Australia? Hi, I'm an Australian. Here we have a fairly "laid-backed approch to just about everything.

Do parents ever look at their kids and think, gee, what ugly kids I have? I think some parents must think "how unfortunate" when comparing another child's looks against their own child.

So often kids are picked on a school for "looking different" and parents must be aware of why their kids cope...

Can I play a European PAL video on a US VHS player? As mentioned in the answer, basically, no. I've brought a PAL/NTSC VCR so it will play an American tape. If you planning on moving from one country to another which has the different system, leave the VCR to a friend. VCr's are becoming throw-away items with DVD recorders so I would invest in one.

Answer to:
What is the difference between the European PAL system and the American NTSC system? Don't kill me when I say this, but the PAL system is fair superior to the NTSC's system. The picture quality is just so much better. I live in Australia, which has the PAL format, but have traveled to the States a couple of times. The two things that really caught my eye, are how many commercials’ you have, and the poor colour quality on most television sets including brand...

Why can't I record a 2 1/2 hour show on a 6 hour VHS tape with the tape speed at SLP or SP? Another thought is that you are bordering on the maximum video tape length. Personally I would use a three-hour tape and record on standard play/record. The tape is being stretched to it's maximum and if the tape is getting old, it most likely won't record an even, clear picture. If the video recorder is getting old, that will make things worse too. The timing will be out and the...

A tape is stuck in my VCR. How can I remove it? VCR's are generally throwaway items these days with DVD recorders.

My child has lice. What is the most likely way she could have gotten them? A cat? At school? I would guess at school.

One child who lives in a less than satisfactory living environment can catch lice from anywhere, including pets. If you are sure that your child has lice, tell the school as quickly...

The voltage that powers various items in cars has been figured out by the manufacture, If too much amperage is drawn, it will over-heat the wiring. The worse case scenario would be an electrical fire. If the wiring on the truck hasn't been "played with" I might guess that nothing will happen and the higher...

Even large companies may well get a regional office to create a commercial depending on the target audience they are trying to reach.

Will there will be a sequel to Contact? Contact was made in 1997.

In the movie Contact, how could a machine possibly work that has three concentric rings that rotate independently of each other? It may be possible that this effect has been used more than once. Have you seen the movie, "Event Horizon" (with Sam Neil) if you recall there is a similar three ring-rotating machine where it appears that the rings are rotating independently of each other. However if you look closely, the three rings are joined. I don't have a copy of the movie with me at the moment, but I have...

I think he's a bit shy to go and pee in the bushes or on the back fence, but by the time he realises that he really really has to go, it's often to late.

Why do young boys masturbate? Young boys masturbate or "play with themselves" because they like the feel of their own penis.

When a show is shot on location in a real place, like an airport for example, do the producers pay to use it? It depends.

Younger people may jump from one boyfriend/girlfriend to the next which may work. But if theres no depth in a relationship, you may be in it for the sex, rather than true love. Your partner has to be your best friend. If there's true love in a relationship, you both love each other and are bound to each other, then follow your heart.

Other than burial, cremation, or donating your body to science, are there any other ways to be laid to rest?

During televised car advertisements look very closely at the wheels of the moving car. It's tires/hubcaps appear to be moving backward, instead of forward as one would expect from a moving car.

With that in mind, when filming anything with rotating wheels that have "spokes" the illusion is...
