That was a good one, Condor! I recal my years as a project engineer driving in Brazil's country side -Wheat and Soybean land- cars were smaller and with little engines, max. speed 120KM/h. I build telecoms for the farm communities there. Very little cities 10K people max. Then right in front you a tractor or pick-up truck would cross the road, did an U Turn like they were in their backyard. My last words wouldn't be exactly those ones, though. Once I stopped and came to the guy and shouted to him: "Do you want to commit suicide or get us both killed?" He pulled a knife half meter long and make a move jump off his Massey Ferguson, I jumped into my VW Variant and drove off. Those guys are crazy!!! In the evening I came down from my hotel room down to the dinning hall to eat, the whole buildng was hotel, bar and restaurant. The guys as usual would come to me and ask when they would get telephones. I was there explaining the whole thing, then I notice that the guy asking the questions was the guy who pulled the knife on me!!
