Why not some gold plated engraving and polished brass bits.
And get a Mr. T Starter Kit for the surface intervall.

Surface interval? The Mr.T kit is part of the total weighting needs...

You're right, nothing quite like adjusting your balance
with a couple of gold chain around your neck.

Bewildering set of choices! I think I'll get the can painted and lacquered yellow. The rest will be black. It'll be the only one out there that looks like a bumblebee.

Cool. Suggestion:

1. Get matching Doge RAM Rumble Bee.
2. Copy logo, modify Hemi to breather
3. Add custom logo to can

I'll add a pair of skunk stripes to my PRISM and you can join me for burnouts at DEMA.

Wow! Stefan, they are cool sets of wheels. However, after paying for all these high tech. toys I thought I'd spring for something more reasonable...like the Mumbai special:

Okay, I've been blown out twice now (NE USA). So here I am dry-diving. In the meantime as I eat some crisps I ponder the head of the Meg ... is there any real difference between an acetal and metal head? I can see corrosion of AL being a slight issue/non-issue? Has that happened to anyone in the distant past? What's that moisture absorbing material? Cellulose sponge like the Cis? Bored out of my skull.

Cheers. Ken

Ken,

Equally blown out here...

Since an AL head would be hard-coated the same as the can, corrosion shouldn't be much of a problem. The biggest advantage of the acetal head is that it is easily machined. the biggest disadvantage is that it _may be_ slightly less durable.

The moisture pads are made from the same material as PackTowels - the light-weight, highly absorbant camping towels. it absorbs 8x it's weight in water while being thin and light. It is much more efficient than cellulose sponge material, is easy to wash/wring out and dries very quickly.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping it settles down tomorrow so that we can get wet here in NE! As per head durability I wonder if anyone has ever hit an obstruction during penetration. On a picky note I see a mini-shroud as a useful accessory for head and hose protection, or is this a non-issue since the Meg. profile doesn't seem as large as a Insp. or certainly as out there as the megacephalic Optima.
