BZZZZTTT! It was a Stanley that tried to kill him. The Doble has a sparkplug for ignition. The video on Jay's website is EXCELLENT. Amazing car.

There was a show about it, he about singed his face lighting the thing off -- it uses gasoline and you have to stick a long match in it to start the fire. But it did warm up very fast and move off quickly, seemed to have plenty of torque/power for acceleration and speed. I recall him saying they had to build a new boiler for it as the original was completely shot. It was not too big, maybe like half a garbage can size. --R --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
