kWell,
I've seen a VW industrial engine before.  It was at the King's Dominion
theme park in Virginia.  Was being used for the sky ride kinda thing --
cars run on a cable in the air through the park.  Dnon't know exaclty
what idt did (generator powering?) but I looked at it and d said
wow, a beelte tle engine!  Looked neat and had the stock
exhaust.

Weird,
Sean
