Re: [doc] Question for those who know [off topic]

Thanks Mark

What I'm most intrigued by is how they managed to solve the problem of 
the engine being in the way of the front/rear prop shaft. Without 
offsetting the shaft or engine, or running it through lots of transfer 
cases or universal joints, or lifting the engine/gearbox up above it 
(bad for centre of gravity).

Just edumacating myself :-)
