[Vwdiesel] Rear wheel drive not quite diesel

[decker at toledotel.com]

I will check out UTube for the aerial atom. You might goggle Locost car. It
is a Lotus 7 knock-off that has a pretty large bunch of builders. I had an
all fiberglass Lotus Elite Coupe in the mid 60's. Colin Chapman was a
wizard. A less than 1300 lb. road car with a 78 horse single overhead cam
Coventry Climax engine. The suspension was all independent. Basically it was
his Formula 2 road racer in a monocoque all fiberglass body. No heater, no
radio, no engine fan !! but the best handling car I have ever driven. I
dearly wanted a Lotus 7 roadster but they were new at the time and I didn't
have enough money to buy one.
