There seems to be an epidemic of "slow answers" these days, so I' m sorry to add my voice to the choir.
My visits to Autopuzzles are going to be very scarce from now on. Well not really my visits - I still have a peek every day. But mostly my activity as a poster of puzzles.
I posted a message explaining this some times ago in the Editors section, but I think it's fair to let all fellow puzzlers now. In have no serious health troubles like woodinsight, although I had my share this year (please get over this shit soon, Woody!). But I felt that I should still try to do something with my life and my work. And all this car research is probably consuming too much time and - mostly- excitement, and maybe I don't have enough for both.
So I have decided to give more of my time to the comics character I've created long ago (whose name, incredibly, is Ray B......) I have started a blog about him, hoping to get a magazine or publisher interested, and I have fun. More fun than I've had in years , except naturally while searching for such or such oddball car. The address, if anyone is interested, is this one:

I hat falses promises, and I won't promise to come back here very often. Although... if I think of a new and interesting group puzzle, you can be sure I won't wait to post it ( and will stay around awhile until you guys solve it.)
Best of luck to everyone, ant thanks to Charlie, Otto, Paul and all those who make this place invaluable
