The person doing the representing might be doing so fraudulently, but you claimed the *video* was a fraud.

Seems like a good enough reason to me. The video is a fraud as I previously stated as it represents itself as something that it isn't. You might want to watch it again. |

It doesn't represent itself as anything other than a video of a Miata on a car club lapping day. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

Having just swapped from a '91 1.6 to a '93 1.8 I've found little or no difference in fuel usage. Fuel economy in either is not much better than our V6 family sedan. I think it's mainly 'cos the Miata likes to rev. I don't drive the family sedan at 5000+ rpm but the Miata responds so well it just begs to be driven like that. Besides - who buys a sports car for fuel economy? -- Mr Q ------------------- |

It is also not a fraud of any sort. > Actually, it happens in pro racing too. Any supercross fans out there know that it is pretty common in that sport. Running 20 laps w/ laptimes under a minute for the leaders, lapped traffic is part of the game. Lappers are always moving out of the way of lead riders, not always w/ an actual wave, but that's the idea. Actually, this past weekend was the final race of the Supercross season and a rider in 3rd place basically waved on the 4th place rider behind him.. a unique case, obviously, but not unheard of. -Scott |

There is no possibility that I am wrong about this. ;-) Pat |
