Mike, you da man! We(or at least I do) appreciatte all the help on our
1.6's. I'm one of those people that aren't to worried about
performance(yet), but I feel I will be one of the ones that actually follow
through on this group deal. Many others won't, and then they will be the
ones complaining and saying they wish they had.
Later on, let us know when and where the info goes and comes from!
