We (who?) should kick you out of the list. But we will allow you to post messages
like this:

If I post one you can post one. If I post two you can post two....
But if you put in a Toyota engine you can only post 3 when I post 4.

So, what do you mean it will be limited to 65MPH MAX? Can't you push it
harder to get 70? How about if you get a tail wind? I have always liked
the idea of a diesel in my Vanagon too. My brother somehow got a Japanese
diesel jeep with steering on the right side. He has a lot of fun just
driving up and down his drive way. I am thinking to steal it someday and
put it in my vanagon. I would like to hear your opinion if this is a
good idea.
