Another mistake?!  I was really critical of the Volvox when it was on another thread a few months back.  It was just too, too, too good to be believed besides the photos looking more like air brush exercises than photos.  My hats are so sweaty and greasy I'd really prefer to eat a brand new hat if no one minds.  Don't hold your breath for it to be on you-tube.

I'd love to know what they're like; in particular his exhaust heat-x. Watching the 2 Volvox lister videos are what got me into Listers in the first place... but (naturally) I wanted to know if it could be done cheaper..... hence, real Listers (which are still cheaper on eBay than the Indian clones, in the UK at least)...

I'd still consider buying one of those heatx's off him, if I don't make my own, that is.
