You guys have this "ASTER SNOB " thing all wrong. It has nothing to do with meths vs. gas............ or SG vs. NG. It is much simpler then that. A "ASTER SNOB" is somebody that thinks that the only engine worth owning is an ASTER. And if he does own other engines along with his ASTERS, he will always tell you that his ASTERS are by far the best. Also remember that there are different degrees of "ASTER SNOBS " out there just like there are many different engines out there. You may finally morph off to the point that you find yourself scratching the word ASTER onto the sides of your other brands of engines with a sharp nail. How do I know so much about this..................??

John, the "Secret handshake[/i] " is only trusted to those Aster owners that own the most highly sought after prized Aster articulated engines or Aster engines that have individual, real, (not a casting) leaf springs.

On a different note, I have a Regner engine that has individually built up leaf springs. Does that make me a Regner Snob??





You bet it does! But I bet you don't have a secret handshake.

Handshake, Shandhake... Brittany and I have secret tire tracks. A very exclusive club.






That sounds much better then a Secret Handshake. Heck, and I thought that us ASTER SNOBS were cool. We got nothing on you.
