    I think of all the races I'd like to see and Le Mans is always
    right there.  Any of you rich people out there want to sponsor a
    SOL trip to Le Mans?

    TeriAnn and Roland both talked about the Ford GT40s and the
    excitement they create.  I must agree.  At Watkins Glen this year
    (at the SVRA vintage races) there were 3 or so GT40s, including
    one in the "Gulf" blue/orange.  Wow.  As much as I love the sound
    of my Europa, the thunder of big block Fords will grab you.  But I
    digress.  LBC content...

    -------- For the net wisdom:

    I need to replace the valves/guides/seats in my Renault-Europa.
    I've been told that I can put the bigger intake valve (from the S1
    Europa) on my 1565cc S2 Europa.  What should I expect (performance
    wise) for this conversion?  Any advice for or against?  I already
    have a 45DCOE9 Weber, Hermes headers, and glass-pack muffler.  Cam
    is stock.  10.25:1 77mm pistons.  Car will be in full tune after
    rebuild (I'm going to try out a ColorTune this time).  Thanks,

    /dave
