There's the Australian-made Barbarian now. Like a Boss Hoss, only better
built.

I'd love one of those with the alloy Chev donk.

I remember when I was younger you'd pay twenty grand U.S. for a bare
alloy Chev block from Keith Black. Now you get 'em in family cars off
the showroom floor...

That sounds like a come-on. I'm going to tell Vickers.

You don't appear to understand the term 'idle' in realtion to buses. Buses,
and diesel trucks, have an 'idle' adjust under the dashboard.

Do any of those systems generate power without using any fuel?

Our friend Hambone thinks he is playing Devil's Advocate, but doesn't appear
to have grasped the point that a Devil's Advocate argues the opposite
viewpoint. Hambone thinks it means talking about something totally unrelated
to the original debate.
