As someone once pointed out to me, you wouldn't want to go telling anyone who speaks German that you're a Wixer - it means something entirely different in German.

A little bit about Moxie....

http://www.xensei.com/users/iraseski/WhatIs.html

I've got it loaded in another window just to listen to the music while I write this. Hope you like pianos :D :wink:

Thanks for the link, Warhawk.

Judging by it's ancient medicinal properties,
I'd say it's about 110 octane... :wink:

Looking forward to Col. Rob's sample :D

So Rob, Just EXACTLY how did you package the MOXIE? :shock: I told you not to pour some in a Zip-Lock baggie and stuff it in an envelope, DIDN'T I :roll: And yes TNZ , We do use it for degreasing engines(Non-toxic, Bio-degradable!), Killing weeds, warding off Evil Spirits, an aphrodesiac and embalming fluid. No finer drink in the land!

Just remember as a Moxie-Neophite you may want to start by consuming just small quantities at first. After Several years and several hundred gallons, you too will be able to quaff the two litre bottles like water and then the fun begins! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I shall keep that in mind.

Boy, I'm really looking forward to it now !!

When the Nieuport is built, maybe I can convert the engine to run on Moxies, to give it a Nitrous effect for take-off ?? 8)

Better use it as an additive. The cheapest I've seen it outside New England is about US$2.35 per liter
