This has been the best thread since I signed up. I haven't had so much fun since the hogs ate baby brother! I find I'm not the only greenie in the crowd. Aussie Mike, you're OK. Driving huge pickup: suspect. Propane powered: AOK! I'll have to look you up when I attend the Melbourne Grand Prix *next* year. And while I've been warned about some Idaho folks being a little uptight, in spite of all that nice, dry powder snow, being home to the Kirkhams and Cobra (Homegrown) Spud makes Idaho OK with me. For the short term, I'm ready to buy an interesting Hybrid for day to day driving (haven't seen one yet), or converting to ethanol. Alky emits carbon dioxide, but we haven't invaded anyone yet for their corn. In the meanwhile, my Watts linkage is finally installed, the weather looks clear, and I'm ready to fire up my beast and go scare some women, children and small pets. I'll never be ready to run Laguna Seca with their wimpy 92 dB sound limit, but I am guaranteed to piss off my neighbors! Rich
