Well picked up the car. Runs great. I never could get the car to super knock without the AP.

Not sure what caused the spark plug to crack, the AP might have enhanced the problem.

I'm going to install the AP again and see what happens. Hopefully it was just a bad plug.

That is cruel and unusual punishment if one is driving a Justa -- let's them know what they are missing.

Just kidding, I have had both a Justa and MCS and they both are great cars in their own special ways.

I Guess all dealers are different, our MINI dealer gives out loaner coopers, clubmans and countryman's, however when we run out we take them to Avis on the back lot and they give them a honda civic or a few other choices. All loaners are free for however long you need them all they ask is that you bring it back with a full tank!
