Steve, you have clearly lost it and there is no cure!
i too am thinking about one (or a dozen) of the little engine's, not that i need to take
on another design project to impliment their use.
step away from the little red/yellow engine bob and steve...
lol
yes its an addiction
i blame mine on growing up a poor boy, always on the eternal hunt for an engine to put on a gokart, and later
always on the hunt for an affordable (read that heap) car, and then the eternal and sometime nocturnal hunt for
parts to keep it (heap) on the road (even if just barely).
funny how after growing up that way, in 53 years i have never owned a new car/truck of my own, bought wives new cars
but never had a desire for one myself???
yup,, its a disease!
last vehicle i bought was two years ago, it was a 83 toyota diesel pickup,, hell i was and still am as tickled with it as i would
be a new car (ok maybe thats a lie, p/s and a/c and then maybe i would be just as tickled)
luckily this disease isn't terminal, some of us would be dead long before now!
maybe its not, "he who dies with the most toys wins" but rather "he who dies with the most iron wins"
