"Freeways" are for "free spirits" ;-) (I rarely spend less than two/two-and-a-half hours at lunch. I could take longer, except I have to be back by 3:30PM to meet a grandson's school bus.) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 |

Huge drums and you could adjust them for hard of soft grip. Once a guy ran a red light, I hit the brakes hard and the guy in an Audi behind me watched with wide open eyes how his car crunched into the back of my Citroen. "How on earth could you stop that fast?" The really nice thing was: 50mpg, regular unleaded. Andre Citroen's guys could do in the late 30's what took "modern" automotive engineers decades. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
