    I ran quad Webber IDA's on a Ford 289 for a while with no filters under a fibreglass bonnet. You want to see real flames?

    you know you drive a mk1 golf when the throttle cable gets stuck on full revs and you are forced to turn the engine off, pull over, and repair it, in the middle of the city!
