The YouTube link worked for me.

Congrats on the first drive, and for seeing it through! "Diesel Metro" is one of those topics that comes up regularly (like "making my car into a hybrid") but nobody ever seems to seriously tackle, or see through to completion.

What's left to do until it's legal? Can't wait to read your fuel economy numbers.
