Ahhh...The great O/D vs. non-O/D debate-like not having O/D makes Nigel any
less of a SuperSpit!
I really don't get any less enjoyment (or speed) out of my spit-with out
O/D. BUT, I am told by the Great Ones that with O/D, I shall have more
speed, better gas mileage and less strain on those Saab turbo
cylinders(etc.).
Laura G. and Nigel-yes! We are looking forward to O/Ding-but enjoying life
anyway!
