When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I was working at John Beatties some years back building a race engine when Nick Mann called in to show a video of his turbine running on an
experimental rig in his garden. When it started running all the plants downstream of the oulet were blown flat to the ground!
I thought then that it looked like it might have potential!

Sounds like the engine was dying to me, unless he was deliberately stopping. Would explain him getting upset though.
