Dan are you saying if something is unfair it is a good thing that it
reamins unfair.. or is even better to build on the mistakes of others??
you are confusing me here..Did you read any of the posts regarding the
rotary stuff??  To add even more fuel to fire why excactly do i have to
give a rat's ass what Baskeville thinks or expects...Does he actually
care what i think...probably not so I guess he and i are even on
that...Look how about if i promise not to put one in a roadster LOL...
Dan if you didn't read all the posts about it you ought to because
someday there just might be a rule you want amened or a new class then
it will be Your Turn..
