Some of you remember PEH telling about driving his MB half way across the country after an electrical meltdown. He left the engine running at night and only drove in the daytime.
Taking off the solid mounted fan and relying completely on an electric one would be a step backwards for me. JimSmith told about driving his manual MB during college for a long time by always parking it on a hill so he could roll start it when it had starter problems...
I really like the basic feeling of being able to count on the Mechanical parts of the car to get me home.... I have a love/hate relationship with electricity... mostly hate.
LOL
