The "I can do it, why can't the automakers" quote at the end of the ad kind of bothers me a bit... people still don't understand that what you're doing in your back yard just isn't appealing to the general public in most cases.... :rolleyes:
I also have a fairly difficult time seeing that car getting 70MPG with 28Hp and still being "fun" to drive. I'm sure it's slow as molasses, and probably doesn't like to accelerate either, since that engine is probably a piece from a mid-size tractor or something similar, which doesn't have variable fuel timing. |
you very may have well made the most reliable fiat known to man....congrats
but I do contest the fun to drive comment as well...the only way 28hp is fun is in a moped... good luck with the sale |
It's probably fun to cruise past gas stations.
It's fun to drive your own creation too... whether it's actually any better or not. I suppose it can be fun to drive something simply because it's "different". It's fun to field questions from the curious. For a while anyway. |

Gas Gauges
Gas gauges are easy to view from operator compartment. That was part of the ad that you posted... a diesel engine that needs Gas Gauges?! |
