Hello Clifford,

Bah. Take a look at the Ariel Atom. 0-to-100-to-0 (mph, not kph, and
yes, that's *back to stationary again*) in under 10 seconds, and still
road-registrable, though not in AU unfortunately. I want one!

Ok, but you can't take your wife/girl friend:

Don't know. It's amazing what people get by with. One guy around here
has a truck where you need a tall ladder to climb in. It's bumper is
where the roof of a van would be and the sheriff doesn't even flinch.

Hello Charlie,

Real danger is that, when you flush out the last of that gunk, you can
get leaks! Sometimes, the little gaps have all gotten filled in with
the gunk, and that is all that is keeping the oil in...

Then the engine would already be in a sad stage. Probably this is why
it's often not recommended switch from regular to synthetic oil on an
older engine. Anyhow, I use the really runny stuff (5W-30) and both car
engines do not burn or leak oil. After 3000 miles it's still a smidgen
below max on the dip stick, just where it was right after the oil
change. And by then it's beige, not black like on other cars.

The Sheriff of Lake County, Florida was killed Saturday evening while
driving an unsafe school bus for a charity event. Apparently, the seat
belts were defective. When another bus hit him he was ejected from the
front doors onto the track and run over by several other busses in the
race.


<http://www.wftv.com/news/10082764/detail.html> There is a video of the
accident shot by a man who was there to watch the events.

I use a little ATF to help keep the seals soft, and to slowly clean
the engine, rather than try to do it all at once.

Wow, even less space than in a Cobra. Not for overweight guys I guess.

Over here they usually put big souped-up Chevy engines into such sports
cars.

If you never let on about the removable lighting you would probably be OK.
It seems to be possible to fit two in the seating s well. A regular 4
wheeled motorcycle of sorts.
