Well, after a stressful week it was good to relax with Paul and David and just vent. God knows I've been venting enough, but I'm just about done, honest. That and a lovely wee drive in the MR2 (yes, Droo, its only an atmospheric engine) has me much relaxed now. Well, that and making it back into the house to collect clothes and toys, so now I have something to wear tomorrow.

speaking of nautrally aspirated, what are the chances of you packing an extra can of Aunty's finest into your bag? Sad, I know, but it's a bit of a treat this side of the iron curtain pond, and I have many Kiwi Rupees to repay you...

I feel aunty is something that is best forced induced. Gives a much nicer power delivery that way. Especially if you have a cam profile with a longer duration and lift, as it will keep you on your powerband for longer.

Alternatively you can try a different bottom end, with a wider bore and longer stroke but you'd best raise your compression ratio. Go a thinner gasket if you have to, and use thinner weighted oil.

I'll see what i can muster fella. How many cylinders would you prefer?
