Part of the problem is getting a Zilla. I hear that Otmar will be building them again. I hear that so-and-so can get one. I hear that nobody can get them. I hear that he has shut down.

I also am unsure whether the version that will work at 144 volts is water cooled, whether the 1K amp version is water cooled. Or whether only the 2K is water cooled, or the higher-amperage versions...

Well, either I'm going to have to visit you, or you're going to have to visit me, and I'm going to have to find you a woman.

Of course, some of the women I have in mind, could be - charitably - called "frightening"

I have learned that when people say things like, "I'm going to find you someone" they are just blowing air. No offense meant. It's kind of like when someone says, "How are you?" they don't really want to know. It's a polite, formal greeting. The proper answer is not, "My liver is acting up again." The proper answer is to repeat their words back at them.

As for frightening, I assure you, that I find pretty women terrifying. But if you meant to say that you have some ugly or mean women in mind, I would not be interested.

Now, if you have a 1K Zilla on hand that you'd sell me, we could do business. I just went to their web site and got on the waiting list for when they resume business. I am number fourteen hundred and something. I imagine that means about a three-year waiting list.

I think he meant frightening as in the type of girl that is so freaky you have to yell at her to put the stick down and no she can't use that other thing ON YOU!

Great pics as usual Daniel, of you and the car.

Sounds like a fun night out to me. I like a woman you have to moderate, much more fun than one you need to coax and beg to try something different.
you should give it a go Daniel. By the way, I look at your photo and don't see an ugly bloke at all, in fact in the shot where your sitting on the car you look very confident. By the way, chicks don't care so much about the actual car, just what it represents.

Agreed! A fun-filled electrifying night of slow speed love which will leave you drained in the end..... Just make sure your energy pack is full Daniel, you don't want to go in with a half charge!

Pat is right though. As always....

You're not half bad for an uneducated bird-brain huh bru?

I was kind of surprised myself. But it cost nothing to get on the list.

I definitely will, if I can get one. It might be some time before they even begin making them again, though.

Oh, did you mean what Jay said? He's in Winnipeg! That's almost as far away from me as you are. And he was as serious about that as he was in the "Baaa means no" thread.
