No, I wasn't talking about you... I was... talking about... er... um... your 
car.  Yah, that's it!

Indeed I do!  I saw you just after you got the thing together - you said it had 
about 200 break-in miles on it and that's about it.  I could have sworn that at 
that time I didn't see the boot... was it not yet installed or am I mistaken?  
If so, my apologies... d'oh! 

BTW, remember the groovy 2.0 w/ A/C I had in my Ghia?  It's coming out soon... 
and will go back to pancake for my new fasty (which will also get a thermostat 
- without it I kill the oil!).  In is going an upright 101.6x80 2594cc grossly 
over-engineered and over-built T4 :-).  I should get close to a conservative 
200hp... 

Now, if I can just get either of these to look half as pretty as yours!  My 
engines are never exactly ugly, but I can't keep them clean!  After one 
cross-country trip it's dirty again.  True, the dirt roads to campgrounds and 
the 19mi dirt road up and down Pikes Peak don't help much, but it's fun.
