Hey, Ronmac, is it 2 am, or 3 am MDT?

The only hillclimb answer I have is I climbed Pikes Peak.... on foot!

I'll be snoring.... and deservedly.... haven't left yet, trekking most of the Summer once the high snows melt (very late snowmelt....)

Missed the start of your last one, Ron, and then found half had been answered already, and I didn't know answers to most of what was left! I can only improve from there.

As a warm up while awaiting Ron, a VW question from a few years ago.

If you lined up all the cars in NZ in a convoy traveling highway one at 60mph, why would someone driving a 1200 VW Bettle try to pass the whole bloody lot of them in one go?

Probably because they were all Volvos, driven by blokes with hats! :wave:
