Sheesh, I turn my back on the IML for two days, and when I turn back 
around, you people have been talking about me! :-)

More precisely, for fear of offending the various IML members who 
have helped me over the years in getting my neglected Imp into good 
running condition.  ("I donated a carburetor to THAT???")  After I 
got "outed" here a few months ago when the Yarn Car was featured in 
Reader's Digest, I braced myself for a wave of hatred -- but 
fortunately it turned out to be just a little ripple.  A few IML 
members posted some nasty and even threatening(!) comments here, but 
the people who mattered to me either just shrugged their online 
shoulders or were actually quite supportive.  Thanks, folks!  And 
special thanks to those who knew about my little deviation from the 
norm and kept mum all this time.

I'm working on a write-up for my web site about "how I came to do 
this crazy thing".  When it's ready, I'll post a link here.  In the 
meantime, feel free to read about some of the adventures that I've 
had time to narrate (although there are still lots in the queue, 
including being in the New York Auto Show, appearing on CNN, etc.). 
When you have a weird car, you meet the dangedest people and get 
invited to the dangedest places.  For example:
