Did anyone see Thunder Races on Discovery this week? A blue 480 was nearly chosen to be chopped in two and made into a centre pivot steering type vehicle. In the end they went for a VW Sciroco (or however you spell it)
I must admit I kinda wanted them to take the Volvo *LOL*

Alternators
Can anyone tell me why cars with AC need a more powerful alternator? Standard is 70amps but AC cars require 110 amps?
The AC pump in driven from the crank, so what takes all this extra power? I mean 40 amps is a hell of a lot!!
