That's one of the more stupider ideas I have heard. If he wanted
something that heavy he'd just have the pickup.

A lot of people want light smallbore diesel engines, not PowerStrokes
or B/ISB Cumminses.

If you were an American, you'd remember where the dune buggies came

The Diesel pollutes less, because the total volume of long term emissions is
less. Remember HC and CO turn into CO2.

Diesel is the only power source I would even look at for off road
transportation (rather than screwing around) use. Torque, reliability,
simplicity and safety all favor Diesel, to say nothing of fuel burn. I think
that's true of most professional users.

This -------he's a nutter, is he?
