Lon,

Maybe I should fly down there and break it in for you? That way we will know that it is driven properly and nothing gets broken! If that is not an option, I recomend that you let Lynne handle all the driving duties after all we wouldn't want you to scare yourself with all that new found power. You know at your age, you can't take any chances with that ticker! Wink

Lon,

   What's a 63 ECZ intake? That a down under version of the 57 intake? Don't let Rob drive it, he'll never figure out the backwards shift pattern.

Your wrong Frank, don't you Americans think that we Canadians are a little "backwards" anyways? Wink
