Flashplayer 8 and Mac OS9 don't mix - I am going to have to wait until I get home to see this one...

What's this bottle with the leaf blower though?
Nitrous? O2?

there must be an opportunity for the more brutal amongst us to engineeer a leaf blower into the air intake of an old MG.

Mind you a simple funnel arrangement may boost performance at higher speed

Since they describe it as naaawwzzz, I would assume that it was NO2.

Hmm, not sure that there is room for a leaf blower and an NO2 bottle under the bonnet of my ZS180...

Would a terbo do the same ? and the leaf blower would fit in the footweel of the 180
