The sound of the Three diesel engines giving 5000HP is absolutely perfect!" "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -- Thomas Jefferson We are all Rhodesians now.

That 1 run probably used enough diesel to power my Dodge pickup for the rest of it's life. It's a kick to watch, though. I like big powerful machines. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
