Hi EVerybody;
A few Questions this AM. IS there, Virginia, a K and W Charger Co,
anymore, of Marion Iowa, I think it sez on the beat up box? I have one of
theirs, works fine, so far, been able to FIX it. But, what if?? Are they
still in biz? I googled the hell out of them, didn't see anything. Sigh.
Whatthehell happened to Bill D. and the Killer, or Kill A Cycle?? It was
on the Darwin Awards? Sheesh! Nothing on the List?Been pretty quiet on the
List of late?
Other news, tooting Dave Oliveria's horn a little. He got his Ranger up
an' going!! Another EV gets on CT roads! Slowly we are overcomeing? Ha Ha,
in another few thousand years we can push the gas rigs off the roads at this
rate! IF there are roads and a nation for them, by then???
Seeya
Bob.
