If you are suggesting that you did in the back seat of YOUR Packard what we did in the back seat of MY Packard, you are a naughty boy. VERY naughty. Shame on you. For shame.

What a naughty...naughty bunch we have in here.....why...I bet this "Eric" character is the kind of guy who would have APPROVED of the SIDE MOUNT MIRROR edition of March-April '83; the one where photographs of a very pretty girl wearing only a smile were used as part of the "pitch" to get the members of the SO. CAL. REGION of the CCCA interested in supporting the "Year Of Manufacture" license plate bill (my doing that, as Editor, got me thrown off the Board....!)

Now - as far as a turbo-prop. type power-plant to give my Lake Amphib. more "punch"....

Eric..you are "ON"...let's DO it! The present motor is a Lycoming I0-360 ("dash six" series) that I have installed a turbo-charger on, but that still isn't enough.

I think your idea of a turbine motor is excellent. When do we start (oh...I forgot - given the expense, you will have to adopt me first...so I can say "daddy...I need a larger allowance".....
