Mike,

I think you are mistaking madness with ignorance, it was the "noisy gears sounds like a supercharger" that sold it thought a supercharger soud would be nice.

P.S. I would like to make a statement that I was a perfectly sane, Fiesta driving, respected member of the community until I started going to the Northern GT 40 enthusiast club meetings and met you all. Not sure what happened after that, my family claim it's something called a mid life crisis, but in your defence I am smiling more.
