Quite interesting to hear of others experiences with
diesels and driving. Frankly I don't mind the slower
pace of my AC van and in some ways, really enjoy
driving it more than my DD. A Honda Accord.

Certainly pacing is important. I learned quickly that
you can't be in a hurry driving a Westy. It's actually
a nice feeling in a way. As for unwanted salutes, I
don't think I'll be getting any unless I pull a boner
on the road! If I do get an unwanted salute, I'm sure
I'll be clear on who has the problem.
