Hey guys I thought this was meant as a joke....e.g. a way to get off the
hacker/virus/OS thread. I didn't take it as a serious comment against
wedges...I could have sworn I saw a tongue firmly planted in cheek when I
read it.
On the other hand if they'd dared mentioned what kind of damper oil is best
to use in your carbs then we ARE talking some serious stuff that deserves a
nice long thread.
