I sensed there was something different about you.. I can now see the
connection now.
An ex rail!! It's all starting to make sense.
We'll have to talk next summer if you can make it to the Hills.

| Hi Tom, At work I'm surrounded by semis all day. Most are not offensive to me - the ones that you can tell are poorly maintained or "turned up" for more power definitely are. Most citybus are marginally maintained as well and rarely run steadily in their most efficient rev range. The recent purchase of my old Mercedes diesel has renewed my interest in this project - even with it's advanced age, the old beast runs quite clean. I'd much rather follow a diesel than a vehicle with exhaust smelling of rotten eggs. :-) Guess I've gotten used to diesel "fragrance" after a stint as a freight railroad conductor and my present job. The idea is to eventually use an alternative fuel (biodiesel or processed used vegetable oil) in most of my vehicles. The resulting exhaust smells mostly of french fries and is better for the environment, the fuel is biodegradable in the event of a spill and can actually be better for the engine burning it than dino-diesel. I'm not totally nuts - there is a logical reason for most of my odd-ball ideas! :-) Cheers, Charlie. tom short wrote:
