      Re: Problem report               > Were you talking about Fieros?       > Eric       > PS. Good to see you on FidoNet!              No.... Porsche 914! It had a VW bus engine in it basically but the Germans       always experimented with alloy combinations. Afterall, an aircooled engine       should expand and contract and keep it's tolerances. I remember someone       getting a new beetle in 1973 and the thing started leaking oil soon after       they got it. I suspect the engine tolerances changed rather rapidly. Well, to       cut to the quick, there was a hefty percentage of magnesium in the alloy       which, when ignited properly, would be impossible to put out. I think this       plagued even the 911 flat six from time to time but I would have to research       it. Fieros? Now is that a play on the word fire?              Origin: Mysteria Majicka BBS; telnet://majicka.at2k.org; Virtual Advanced BBS       VirtualNet 1@141000; FidoNet 1:322/757 Cape Cod Massachusetts 10 nodes               --- Virtual Advanced Ver 2 for DOS         * Origin: Mysteria Majicka BBS (1:322/757)    |
