So this is the opening thread for the final showdown. Engineers and energy consultants around the globe are hanging on the edges of their seats to know the results of this oh-so important debate.
In the Red Corner (cause red is faster) we have the defenders of the mighty Two Stroke. A piece of engineering whose beauty comes from its sheer simplicity and explosive power. Those arguing the case for the beautiful Toohey do not look down upon the complicated and tedious Four Stroke - we can appreciate its worth - we are merely arguing that the Two Stroke was a most worthy piece of machinery and should not have been killed off by politics (and whatever else brought about its demise).
Over there in the Blue/Green Corner we have the narrow minded laymen who fell for the environmental arguments and believe they were a worthy platform from which to launch an attack at the Toohey. Their main spokesman is HAP - good luck - HAP is confused about the difference between a two-stoke and a steam engine. And if you pull him up on it he calls you nit-picking. And they argue that the world only needs the Four Stroke for their minds are not broad enough to cope with choice.
Don't forget to keep your colours flying men. Fight hard and valiantly. No biting, gouging, scratching or any other nasty underhanded techniques. And stay awake HAP.
