Oh yeah, forgot to mention the exchange rate... 1 GBP (British Pounds) =
$1.63076 (US dollars), current as of 12:31 GMT, 01-24-03.
Now, if any of you guys have doubts about the Hewland EGT, you can send me
$$$$$ to my Paypal account (please, nothing less than $100 :-). This
donation is not tax deductible (I'll try to work on it though). If I do get
tax deductible status, please mail any Money Orders to the:
Get Ron a Hewland Foundation or GRaHF
I will use this money to test the effectiveness of the Hewland EGT gearbox,
and fine tune the ratios to the SHO V6 engine. Then I will let the list
know just how good (or bad as the case may be) the gearbox is. Now,
wouldn't you guys/gals rather spend a few hundred dollars to find out if it
is any good or not, rather than almost $20k and it suck?!? If my AWA knew I
spent $20k on a gearbox, she'd probably shoot me! Don't suffer that fate!
Just send me some money, and I'll take all the risks!
Oh yeah, I'll take cash too! :-)
Be sure to catch the GRaHF telethon, televised throughout the country on
major television channels (ok, the cheapest cable public access) on the
first day of April, 2003.
