Yeah, a great show for an all-too-small venue, thanks to everyone who came
to the stand and said "Hi".
The stand was busy throughout the show and all the cars - especially the 5
litre V8 Herald - were very popular!
I don't have any experiance with the devices you mentioned and have steered
clear of them in the past;
Re: Gadget 1 - Most people seem to have modified their cars to unleaded and
LRP seems to plentiful at the moment.
Re: Gadget 2 - I'd be inclined to install electronic ignition instead.

| It was certainly an enjoyable show - lots of classic cars of every
| description to drool over - including a certain Mr Willcocks gorgeous
| Spit.
|
| It was a joy to meet fellow listers - I only wish I could have stayed
| and talked for longer - my little brother (another car fanatic) was ill
| the day before and getting a little restless by the time we met up.
|
|
| Now for the questions:
|
| Gadget Numero One: The Fuel Cat - a gauze slug with metal (lead?)
| pellets inside. You drop it in your tank and it allows you to use
| unleaded. It only costs #30 and seems far too good to be true. But an
| incredible saving if it works.
|
| Gadget Numero Two: The Spitfire - No not the car we all love - But a
| little cylindrical thing that goes between coil and distributer - making
| an amazing 5 sparks instead of just one. Allegedly boosting power - and
| efficiency. Also too good to be true. This one costs #45...
|
|
| Anyone ever had any experince with these devices?be sent.
