For some reason the 124 300TD "beckons" me to play this game. It starts with quite a clatter and some smoke - but all evens out in about 20 seconds...but plugging it in has not been a necessity this winter to get it to start on the first crank. Wonder how low it can go.... The SD - I pamper it. It's my "forever" car. Chris

In fact I don't have one in stock either. That's how nice I am to my engines. I dare them not to start and run. Johnny B.

They'r won the event a lot recently and have chosen a V12 90 degree Diesel to defend its title. The fuel will be basically pump fuel BTW with the engine producing approx 650hp & 800 # ft of torque! The article tells of Audi;s reasoning for using a diesel - one of which is to help Americans realize diesels are not slow, noisy, smokey engines. It's shaping up to be another great race! Let's hope SpeedTV will be televising much of the race as they have in the past.
