Yeah right.
I sometimes think I could sell soda straws stuck through corks as performance
items if I just stencilled the word 'Weber' or 'Special Tuning' on them.
Think of me as Pavlov in mechanics overalls - "Here boy - racing part!"
MG owners aren't any thicker than others though - in a Fiero group I read,
filled mostly with young know-nothings, interspersed with the odd
thinks-he-knows-it-all, the ongoing idiocy is the 'performance chip' for the
engine control module, despite repeated evidence that the only thing they
accelerate is the emptying of the wallet of the sucker that bought them. PT
Barnum was indeed right.........
