Steve, If Jack's plea had only come today instead of yesterday, there would be a chance that it was only a joke. BEWARE!!!

...and if that's not enough to convince you, this year's grand prize will include a never-before-offered, color-keyed scoop to make cleanup easy and attractive.

Thank-you Gentlemen for all of your positive comments but no thanks 🙏 At my age I've become as "stubborn as the proverbial horse's arse" and this horse's arse need not be in such close proximity to the one that will power that finely crafted restomodded Trabant SS Demi-Coupe. I will be very happy to contribute in some way to help "The Little 🐎 Who Could" continue to enjoy his/her endless excitement and entertainment that's being provided to the nearby residents 👍👌 

😇 Steveo

Steve-O.....please do not assume that the drive train of the Trabant restomod 2025 Grand Prize will be akin to that of last year's coveted offering.  Lawn Boy powerplants can be engineered to performance levels that you never thought possible....but alas.... perhaps I've said too much.  Just trust that you will be shocked at what is forthcoming from our Chief Engineer.  Sadly this farsighted genius is currently off on orthodontic sick leave due to mistaking a manifold prototype for his lunch sandwich.

Hmm, 🤔 farsighted or nearsighted... Beware the restless echoes being emanating from deep within our bowels..or bowls of "Carrol Shelby's Chili Fixings Seasoning Mix"..😋

Somehow I've issues with a "Chief Engineer" who might not have analyzed all the ways "sinking your teeth into" an important job may have gone wrong.

@100ford2003 Mechanical geniuses like our man can often be absentminded/distracted/single focused, especially at lunchtime.  The Trabant Restomod 2025 project has understandably consumed his thoughts.  Once he gets his new caps fitted he'll be right as rain.
