- DON'T ANSWER HIM! It's a trick warning! My Bug would run high RPM's up a hill
- all day long. Never seemed to translate to any gain in speed though. Solved
- that problem though. Once my '66 bus is running, I KNOW I'll never get any
- speed up hill. (1600 DP) Maybe a 1776, dual Webers, and an extractor will
- change that. I'm sure I'll have plenty of money saved after grad school is
- over. ;-) ;-) ;-)
