Errr... nope. I'll actually stick up for CRashley on this one.

Just got back from a day of design work on a new aircraft not due in service for another 5 yrs. Largest european aircraft manufacturer and we still work in imperial. (though we do seem to mix & match the units, depending on whether we're trying to show something as being a high or low number )

P.S. DCM, i know you're speaking to ash but that attempt at spelling is awful!

Anyways, back to the car with looks only a mother could love...
