Still, in the unlimited class of a rally from Bagdad to Beijing, it is probably not the dragracer nor the solar car that wins, but the landrover with good road maps and a GPS. I agree with most posters that in the end, you have to find the best thing to do the job. Hardware could play a major role in your solution, but you need more than just that to win. Dave
