Sounds to me if we want the power on tap then that's the price we'll have to pay (no burble on the highway). What gets me is that we're shying away from the Kyoto agreement but have some of the tightest emissions controls in the world. Go figure!

What upsets me more so Sambo is that Governments and industry dont follow the same rules. Industries get exemptions. Much of our local public transport doesn't comply at this point in time. Don't get me going on the diesel electric trains we have spewing tons into our atmosphere every time they pull away from a station.

It's the same with this lack of water problem we have. Last night one of the public affair shows detailed some industries using megalitres of water per day and pay bugger all for it. I know we need industry for jobs but I'm also aware of the huge profits these companies are turning over.

I appreciate we all have to do something but the imbalance is hypercritical.

My rant for the day.

Actually Sambo, in researching this DOD thing, my mind got to wander on the possibilities to cobra owners.

Hows about an L76 DOD enabled powered cobra fitted with a T56 using a 3.31 diff and side pipes?. Cruising the highway at 100klm in sixth the thing would fire on the left then you'd havta wait an age for it to fire on the right side. It would sound like a ferguson tractor.

Pete (PCC) would love it. Rather than his neon lights he could inject aero smoke making fluid into the pipes and lay down dotted smoke trails. Knowin him tho, he'd use the colored smoke for more effect.

Only kiddin Uncle Pete
