Just thought I'd see if anyone was home! Hopefully it will be nice
enough to go for a swim this weekend.

My cars runs great except after about 20 miles or so, it "sneezes"
(carb) if I throttle up some either while on the water or on the road.
Not a backfire, but a light "sneeze" until she gets up to speed. Any
ideas?

Yes, we are all still here. Perhaps taking a break now that it is
Fall????

A coworker invited me today to bring my Amphicar to his 2nd grade
son's "Show-N-Tell" Day at the little one's elementary school.

Although there was no opportunity to float at the school (!), I did
bring the car as well as a video of me on the TV news from earlier
this year. After watching the TV clip, all the little kids marched in
single file out to the parking lot to see the real thing.

What a kick!

A true "smile" car!
