You are always welcome to drive up. I'll buy lunch for whoever travels the longest distance.
Right now, that would be Jon, but I don't think he would be upset if you beat his 160 miles. :D

Want to finish seeing how the engine runs with the turbo.. then I'm doing a street port.. who knows, maybe i'll throw nitrous in the system with the turbo eventually.. but that 'may' be a bad idea... lol

Med? not sure what you mean, but generally I'm all over Greece south&north, to be more specific, capital&2nd biggest city. what else could you ask for? 100degrees F, endless beaches with all the sand colors/types you can imagine, nice ladies, noumerous islands for all the tastes, tourists (and refugees, oh well...) from all over the world...

have I convinced youD

Philodox & Mazda Maniac may I ask a :o question :o
When you are conversing in Greek how do you get the letters to appear like that? I mean, there's nothing like that on my keyboard.

Just wondering. Now back to your thread topic :D

They just hold down Alt and randomly peck at numberpad keys .

Actually there is a character map under system tools in the start menu where you can get them.
