No, Bill! You are the one that is wrong. I knew Charles and I saw his car and I listened to him explain why he did it. It was his car to do with as he pleased as is your car. He wanted the simpler engine to work on. I won't go any further as to what I think he wanted. The big difference between you and Charles is that he didn't beat us over the head over and over again that his way was better and that we should consider it our selves. Also, he didn't verbally degrade the car as you do when ever you get the chance. He acted with respect to all. I have seen many of your changes and say good for you, keep it up, but don't keep telling us that we should make the same changes over and over.
