Alpina remove the restictor and I believe that a magazine tested the 3.7 litre
model up to around 167 MPH, another 50 PS would give it an extra 10mph I 
suppose. Not bad eh!

I also have the individual accessory/options prices.

I suspect that the Quest is priced somewhat less since it doesn't come 
with ABS as standard equipment. 

I like the Villager BUT it sorely lacks cargo space behind the rearmost seat.
(Although it's no worse in this regard than the SWB Caravan, the GMC plastic
vans, or any og the other SWB or short-body style "mini"vans). The seating
configuration adjustability is a plus (specially for the 7seat Quad Bucket
version which can have the 3 seat bench and buckets swapped fron to rear...).

I HATED the motorised front shoulder strap! This will keep me from considering
the Quest/Villager as a replacement for one of our Vanagons. This would seem
to be Ford's highest priority improvement on this vehicle (AIRBAG!). 

The "entertainment" dash (Digital Instrument Cluster) seems to always crop 
up in the "luxury" versions of Ford products. It's CRAP! Note that it's 
included in 696A with the Auxiliary Rear AC and heater...Luckily my SHO, which
has *all* the options didn't come with the Digital Instrument Cluster...

Are car stereo power ratings measured under the same set of conditions
as home audio?  i.e. X watts RMS from 20 to 20KHz with no more than
rated THD.  If not, are they measured under some common set of
conditions?  e.g. external power supply with infinite power, X watts
at 1KHz, 100% THD measured just before transistors vaporize.  :-) :-)

If there are no standards, then power figures are almost completely
meaningless, at least as far as I understand the concepts.  It would be
just like saying my car can get 100 mpg.... downhill.

				^^^^^^^			      ^^^^^^
Doing 16 miles above the speed limit, if the weather and traffic conditions
are normal is not a serious offense, and a ticket would suffice.

But driving reckless can be a very grave offense.  It is interpreted
as puting other people, including yours life in danger.  Even if someone is driving
within speed limits, s/he can be charged with reckless driving.
Ususlly the following are considered as reckless....
1. Not driving in lane.
2. Cutting across other car while overtaking.
3. Frequent lane changing.
4. Tailgating.
5. fast accerations and breaking.
	etc..

I think you have to be honest with what you say.  You may wnat to give the
reason for you reckless driving, not just speeding.  You could mention
you had gone to India(your name seems indian) for the couple of months
and had to readjust to US driving conditions.

I think in that case you would be forced to attend a driving school, which
is much better.

In Japan, a lot of people will buy American stuff, even cars, just because
it is American. In most former American "colonies", people think American
stuff is great. Status symbols do not need to be of the highest quality.
People in many countries value imports over local stuff since it has
greater "status symbol" value.

I think the opening of Japanese markets will do more than increase the
profits of the American car companies through increased sales. It will
a) remove one more excuse for the big 3 American car companies to complain
about their foreign competitors, and b) force the Japanese companies to
compete at home. Many Japanese companies make huge profits at home in a
captive market and subsidize exports (i.e. dump their stuff overseas).
This way they can wipe out the competition (e.g. GE, RCA, Sylvania,
Magnavox in consumer electronics and GM, Ford, Chrysler in cars) and
then play in the field by themselves. I think the Koreans are beating them
at that now, though. They have similar import restrictions. Once Korean
quality is perceived as similar or superior to Japanese there will be
quite a battle!

Also, foreign competition in Japan (not just in cars) will force their
distribution system to become more efficient, thereby lowering prices for
consumers. Hopefully Japanese car prices here in America will fall to the
level of American car prices! (No, this may not be true for cars since
it appears that the Japanese car companies are very efficient).

My 1991 Ford Taurus has the same problem.  When I called Ford,
they told me what they do: spray Lysol into the air intake.
Since they do that, and to save $$$, I was told to try that.

Well, I did, and the smell of mold/mildew is gon, but the Lysol
smell is there.  Most recent answer from Ford: let it 'air out'
for awhile.  

Anyway I now have an appointment w/Ford to bring in the car. 
They plan to try some new "odor-away" type product first, then
if that doesn't fix it, I will have to pay for about 6 1/2 hrs.
labor to remove, clean, and re-install the A/C and heating
ducts.

Not much of a solution, I know.  If anyone out there knows of
a PROVEN method for killing off the spores that invade A/C units,
PLEASE post it.  There are several of us who need to know what to
do.

Thanks.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I guess you find people racing for
the lead mind-numbingly boring.  For me, watching Nigel Mansell lap the
field is pretty dull. The only time this season in F1 that the lead cars
have been close has been on Mickey Mouse nowhere-to-pass circuits when
everyone has lined up behind Senna.

As I said before, the european racing teams have always had a higher-tech
product than those in the US. But there is no reason it couldn't be done
here, except for the cost of startup since, as you say, the industry basically
doesn't exist. Although I believe that both the Nissan and Toyota GTP cars
are made in the USA. Not F1-level technology, but still not bad.

Finally got caught up a bit last nite and reviewed ESPN's
coverage of last weekend's IndyCar race at Road America.
Some of my personal light-hearted observances.

- HARD CHARGER AWARD (until he lost the motor): Robby Gordon 
- THIS WEEK'S REQUISITE FUEL MILEAGE COMMENTS:  Since it's always
his lead-in comments, I now have figured out Paul Page must own
a gas station somewhere.  Also, was the Corvette Pace Car Breakdown
(not commented on obviously on ESPN) really the fact that it ran out
of gas??  If so, this would substantiate the need to focus on the
subject of fuel economy at RA (and everywhere else they've run).
Perhaps they should be using a GEO METRO in the future as a pace car.
- FATHER TO SON (so to speak):  After his many off-course excursions,
if you were Roger Penske, what would you say to Paul Tracy?
- PLANES, TRAINS AND ....:  Derek Daly uttered the words "Freight Train"
several times.  Note that this comparison is ONLY applicable to NASCAR.
I really don't think 4-5 IndyCars running nose to tail are similar to
a real freight train ala 40 stockers going 3-4 abreast along the back
straight at Daytona or Talladega.  Now, THAT's a train.
- I was shocked ESPN didn't have some sort of camera focused on the
Scott Goodyear incident and what predicated the problem.  Or did they
simply choose not to run the footage?
- It would've been interesting to at least make an attempt to find out
from someone within the Mario Andretti team to find out if Mario really
did have a specific problem in T8, where he was obviously losing a lot
of positions during the course of the race.
- Did Eddie Cheever ever appear back in his pits after his ride was
over, or is he still somewhere back in the woods?
- TRACY'S SATURDAY INCIDENT:  Were just the boy and his dad the ones
inside the tent camper, and subsequently seen exiting very fast after
Paul's car came to a rest?  A funny scene if (like the old clown-car
trick at the circus) bodies continued to climb out of the trailer.
Luckily, no spectators appeared to come in jeopardy to this incident.
- AMERICAN-BORN vs. FOREIGN-BORN:  If you go simply by the nationality
of the listed drivers competing in this particular race (home town
listed in the results), I count 15 drivers from the US and 10 from other
countries.

IMO, best IndyCar race of the year (as far as close competition).
