Hakkas, Ur-qs and other odd words

[Jenny Curtis <jenny@physics.spa.umn.edu>]

Hey Q-list:

Wow, David you did a beautiful job on the Ur-q.  Looks like new.  The original
was in tough shape too.  Did you do it yourself or have help?  Dealing with a
rusty car these last five years (my Trooper) has by necessity forced me to learn
a bit of the art of body repair.  I have a friend who did a similar type of
heavy duty pull apart and repaint on an old VW cabriolet.  People thought he was
nuts but it looks great, so why not?

Ti, thanks for the pics from Monterrey.  I think I saw Kent Anderson's Ur-q in
#10.  He found it in North Dakota in mint condition.  Something for us all to
dream about, eh?

Adam, you can find Hakkas at
http://www.nokiantyres.com/

They have a dealer locater on the page.  If there isn't one near you, Anderson
Motorsport in Minneapolis is a Hakka dealer, they might be able to help you
(about $80 per tire for the Hakka 1).  Their  phone # is (612) 937-8639.

As for the ticket going through the yellow.  Ouch, we all do that and it's bad
luck to get a moving violation for it.  In Minnesota I've been pulled over twice
for this and twice I've been given warnings because I admitted I was simply
trying to get through before the light changed.  I think it comes down to the
fact that cops just don't like to be argued with.  But if I were in this
situation, I would definitely fight the ticket.  At this point what have you got
to loose.  I fought a $150s in tickets once and got it thrown out. (for riding
my bike on the wrong side of the road and sassin the officer to boot.) I took
pictures of the intersection.  For some reason that seemed to help.  Also the
cop never even showed up in court.

Finally, can we just kill this increasingly lame bra thread?  I think the
Eurotrash Princess would say it's tres gauche.
