I really, really, really wish that people would not drift so far from Elecraft topics ....
Thanks in anticipation John G4ZTR _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: 22 March 2013 03:38 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Contest free zones Rich, If you "press the pedal to the metal" a little bit more, that Edsel will easily go up to 80 mph and run rings around those 'speed demons'. That is if you can afford the gasoline it takes to do that. The Edsel was created in the era of 'muscle cars' and had an engine to match, so it can hold its own in the competition. It may not be as nimble as some of today's cars, but it is superior in terms of raw horsepower. I long for a replacement for my 1989 Mazda MX6 turbo, but it died after 300,000 miles - the replacement 2008 Mazda3 handles almost as well, but lacks that turbo boost which made the MX6 a really "fun to drive" vehicle - it was really a Zoom-Zoom car. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/21/2013 10:49 PM, Rich wrote: > Sure do love driving my Edsel.
