See, I know your evil ways. I tried it with the Mad Bastard's pretty MkI

You see, waiting for the first buzz of the day to wear off before posting 
was a good thing.

But I'd like three that run...or I'd like the third one to have a floor at 
least.


Okay, but on to the important event of the day. Apparently if your coil 
tests out weak you should replace it.....Let's just say the days of blinking 
once during first gear are over (no time for that blink anymore) and the 
weakness above 5000rpm is SO gone. I couldn't stop laughing the first five 
miles or so, and the car was strong enough with the half dead coil. Yeah 
baby! That's what I'm talking about...
It was a bit scary since I put the new coil in this evening, then HAD to 
take it for a run, and there were all these damn slow cars in my way (well, 
they were likely doing the limit) and there was the ever present danger of 
Bambi and all her Raccoon friends, so I had to keep it to a dull roar. OMG 
it was fun.
(Tech: There are tests for resistance in the Bentley that I did last fall to 
determine the coil was out of spec. But I ingored that since the car ran 
okay and the coil isn't free. The other thing was that  despite 2.0 second 
60 ft times, the car's ETs were still mid 15s, slower than it had once been. 
So something was up at the top end. There are some distinct advantages to 
time trialing your car on a regular basis, that same sort of info gained me 
a second in the Beetle, I had hard proof that the car was ailing)
I had to turn the stereo off to hear the most beautiful music there is, the 
sweet sound of the 16V screaming. Pathetic, but so are half of you eh?
