What about the fact that the ovloV convertible that EC just gave high
marks to is powered by a turbocharged five cylinder engine?  (or am I
remembering a different ovloV model?)  And that the "high-pressure"
version of that engine makes just about 220 hp.  Hmmmm indeed!

Makes you wonder if Hans/Frans were selling Audi's engineering plans to
ovloV after they got canned for designed electrical systems to melt down
in order to protect that damn 59cent fuse!
