Yup. Eyeballs love tail cones. Media types love eyeballs.

Would you talk about yours if they showed up again next year (and you had yours on)?

Try these links:

EDIT: No, these aren't right. They came from the producer, but they're not what we want.

Bob from the GGP says he was able to watch the Daily Planet clip about the gassifier truck, and he's in NY. Can anyone else in the US see it?

Who tried, but can't see it?

You definitely should have been in the "standings" as posted by GGP.
Completely aside from your FE achievements, building the Porsche to run on diesel is a win in its own right.

I almost wrote that it was truly a triumph, but some Brits might not appreciate the remark.

Well, I don't enjoy drawing the attention of strangers. That's probably why I've been dragging my feet on the boat tail. But something has to be done to bring acceptance of aerodynamic body shapes to the masses. So, yes. I would reluctantly give interviews.
