Well I found it funny, maybe it`s the Rioja.
If you didn`t laugh at the rabbit, then there`s always the amount of fuel America is using, keeping it`s passenger cars cool.

I did indeed laugh at the rabbit

.
And .... how much fuel

. Yikes.
On the same subject, thankfully the air conditioning on the Cappo has finally expired (I've been waiting for three years for it to do so), and whilst I was reluctant to strip out a fully working system, I reckon I've now got the green light.
Just turning it on used to virtually stop the car in it's tracks (

), and I'm sure that I've read somewhere that just running the fan-belt at the higher revs (up to 8-9K in this case), takes 1/2 to 1.0 BHP, let alone the actual A/C. Removing the aircon saves around 12KG, which on a 67bhp / 630 kg car is well worth having

Having just re-read that last post, perhaps it's time I got another 911 ....
