high front weight bias, and asked about fudging tire pressures.)

    Actually, despite that 600 lb chunk of iron up front, the big A/H
balances out at 49% front/51% rear balance (it must be all the lead
in the boot-mounted battery :) ).

Isn't an AH3000 alot like a TVR when it comes to engine placement? (a front-
mid -engine). I seem to think(memory) that most (if not all) of the engine is
behind the front axle, therefore a 51%f/49%r wouldn't surprise me, but that it
is the other way 'round does! I guess people should wear lead boots to help
keep it neutral! :-) :-)
