Hi everyone,

Thanks for the welcome.

Tony:
Thanks for the tip.  I've seen loads of 5k parts cars out there.

Doug:
The "spa" stands for school of physics and astronomy.

Jery:

Aren't 4kQ's fun?  I had a blast last night driving my friends around.  i love
the way this little car sounds.  It kind of roars down the street, not like a
tacky T-top with hockey hair and a gaudy eagle on the hood, but rather a
Eurotrash Princess  hopped up on espresso and expensive cigarettes.

Doyt:

Thanks for the web address.

Kneale:

 I think the powerplant is just fine right now.  It's a quattro with a five
cylinder.  The car is light and manueverable and feels really fast in the first
three gears, which is really nice for a change.  I'm just thinking about down
the road, after making, to paraphrase Han Solo, "a few special modifications,
myself."  And since the engine has a ton of miles on it, I might need to replace
it soon enough anyway.

Thompson:

I will talk to Keith Anderson before embarkingon such an endeavor.  I will check
out your web page too.

Michael:

Need more girls indeed.  I bet you make ascii winkies at all the newbies...

Re. Insurance:  I filled out forms for a new company last night and they asked
about "Modifications" to which I slyly answer "none,"  thinking about the turbo
swap all along.  Of course, the downside is, if I do the swap and the car gets
stolen, I'll never get the real value.

I must get some work, done.  Marc, get back to writing code!
