	I'd like some help, please.  I have a turbo driven car and
	am getting tired of having to wait for the turbo to cool
	down before shutting the car off (anywhere from 2-5 minutes).
	Sometimes I absolutely HAVE to get out of the car immediately
	upon arriving and just leave the car running, and I prefer
	not to do this.

	I'd like help designing a circuit that I could build and
	install that would let the car run an addition pre-selected
	time (AFTER I've removed that key from the ignition and 
	left the car) and then turn the ignition off.

	I would like to be able to vary the delay, whether by a simple
	pot or by a keypad entry, but that's not important right now.
	
	I'm looking for ideas? 

	Michael

	PS:  Yes, I know these are available from some places but
	I refuse to pay $100.00 for $10.00 worth of of parts.
