<VV> new 140 motors?

[Rick Loving]

More April Fools....or maybe not.....

I was on the fence about Smitty's Article regarding picking up YS019 and
driving Spike to get there and back.

Everything in the article was plausible and we know that Smitty is a
driving machine.  I don't know anything about Smitty and Allen's
friendship( or lack there of)

I don't think Spike would have any issues exceeding 120mph in a
heartbeat.  I got the chance to ride in Spike during a fun run at the
Lexington auto-X while a friend of Smitty was driving.

In one of the last sharp corners before the finish, Spike spun a 180,
Smitty's buddy responded by downing and planting the go fast pedal to
the floor while cranking the wheel hard.  The car started to roll
forward and then as soon as the boost came on the front tires nearly
stopped rolling as the rears broke loose and slid around with smoke
rolling off of them.

Spike is fast enough and 762 miles in 9 hours is only an average speed
of 88 MPH for the trip.

Damn.  I fell for it hook, line and sinker, initially anyway.

The thing I'm excited about is that I got my CC YESTERDAY.  I dunno what
CORSA has done with the shipping of the CC to Canada, but it sure is
nice to
be "in" on the discussions, instead of having to wait three weeks.

Regards,
Joel

Awwwhh com'on did you actually read the article?....

....Pebble Beach changing it's format to mass produced economy cars
....Phone call from APRIL LOOF (FOOL=LOOF backward)
....shut off pumps that control Niagra Falls to collect change at bottom
of 	falls
....New York Chamber of Commerence agrees to donate 100% of change
collected 	to CORSA
....limited run of 140 motors being remade by GM (who is going broke)
....Tour of plant ticket request must be submitted by APRIL 1st (before

Every Year Sarah does a wonderful job with a APRIL FOOLS letter that
