"I keep seeing it.....in my rear view mirror" hihihi
I drive a car that you will not be able to beat. (To keep this in the
realm of the amps reflector, I have a VHF amplifier in the car for 2 meter SSB.
:-)
I have a 1982 Mercedes 240D, 4 cylinder diesel with 245,000 miles on her.
I'm sure you would agree to give me a little head start........... When I
floor the
gas pedal, she billows out a big cloud of black smoke like a giant squid. You
will
not be able to see anything and will give up in shame and despair. In my case
I will not
be able to see you in my rear view mirror. :-) :-)
