On second thought I'll just keep my 78.
Why? Because through trial and tribulation the work has progressed ahead of schedule. Or is it that when you replace the parts, you know what you have. But really, isn't it the feeling you have when you drive it? You can hear all the heads snapping. you can hear the ohs and ahs. Or is it just my imagination? Oh what fun it is to drive.
