I was just watching some Wisconsin v4 engine videos, and this topic poped up in my head. Before I had my account on the board, I seen this topic and went "Oh wow, that's something else."
I also want to know the current state of the project.

Was this thing remotely started, or did some poor soul have to climb up on the roof/post and start it?

Well then do you think you could tell us how it worked then instead of telling us about Chryslers?

I was using Chryslers as an example. I said they could do it, not that they did. Plus, Chryslers were gas powered too, just like some MDs. I'm not entirely sure though, I read it on the victory siren website.
