Hope this one hasn't been posted before... A woman lay in a coma in the hospital while the nurses were in her room giving her a sponge bath. One of them was washing her private area and noticed that there was a response on the monitor when she touched her. They went to her husband and explained what happened, telling him, crazy as this sounds, maybe a little oral sex will do the trick and bring her out of the coma." The husband, an Australian bloke, was of course very sceptical, but they assured him that this could work and that they'd close the curtains for privacy. The hubby finally agreed and went into his wife's room. After a few minutes the woman's monitor flat lined, no pulse, no heartrate.. The nurses rushed into the room. "What happened?" they cried. The husband said, "I don't know, I guess she choked."

Welcome to driving a Falcon. Where mysterious driveline clunks and bumps are expected!

230 kph. Wind noise through sunroof disappointing!

Yep, love the Boondocks, but still reckon Family Guy's the best! Giggida Giggida!

It would require a unique bodyshell (is that what you mean by chassis?) to accomodate the driveshaft but all the hardware exists within the Ford parts bin to make the AWD driveline a reality.

Brilliant show. His digs last night at Kim Jong-il were solid GOLD

Well, I think I stand corrected. No matter, the AWD Volvo has the exact same engine as the XR5 leading one to believe the ease at which the AWD drivetrain could be implemented into the Ford.

I can vouch for the fact that they are very quick cars for their size. They finally get the oompf they deserve!

As far as an AWD Focus is concerned, remember that the Focus is based on the C1 Platform, also used by Mazda for their Mazda 3 and Volvo for their S40 - both of which come in AWD variants.

With regards to the 'learning' capability of the PCM, every engine is minutely mechanically different and requires subtly different amounts of fuel injected for a perfect burn. The KAM (or Keep Alive Memory) within the PCM constantly adjusts the optimum fuel pulse width away from what the stock calibration dictated. The variation away from stock can be anywhere between 1% to 5%
