I agree with Frank whole heartedly.  Perhaps since I come from an "air
cooled" heritage, I've never much minded the fact that it takes a bit longer
to get from where I am to where I want to go.  We love our 5-speed 83 d'sel
westy and wouldn't trade him for a gas powered westy.....ever!

While Frank states that he is saddened by the bad rap on the list about
d'sels, I for one just chuckle when I read the comments and then, quoting
that famous philosopher, Mr. T, I mutter....."I pity the fools!"   ;-)

To each their own.........
