Keep it - I subscribe to both - quick flip through the regular list - it
takes hours - and then use the digests for reference.  I'm spoiled being on
a 'Wave' connection with (effectively) no download limits - I would like to
see a proper FAQ being done.  I'd  be happy to volunteer the time but I
don't have the expertise required to make it concise and accurate.  Got any
spare time Phil?

BTW after changing plugs (to BOSCH Silvers) injectors (Bosch) and fuel
filter (Bosch) I've noticed a 100km increase on a 35 litre fill up. More
power, better starting, smoother running... best $400 I've spent on a car
yet!!!
