| Hey guys its been a while my gold beauty has decided to not be fast anymore the reason being when i put my foot down or almost fully down it just starts firing back it feels like it wants to go but it wont and it sounds like a choking sort of noise and its embarrasing when a little lancer beats you anyway i put all new platnium spark plugs in but didnt help its kind of made it worse by the feel of it, so please guys any suggestions |

| Tsk Tsk, Peter, so demanding. I distinctly see a comma just after the 85th of the 90 words. |

| No, Diggles. If he had, it would still be working as it should |

I can't believe I just counted the number of words in that, err, sentence. My life sucks. |

| I copied the text and in a terminal window wrote: echo "" | wc -w pasting the text between the quotation marks. You can see there are five words after the comma. |

| Sorry Nayr, I have no idea why a little lancer with platinum spark plugs is making him feel embarrassed about the choking sounds coming from his golden beauty. Did I just cross the line? A bit more background info about what events lead up to the lack of performance may help. Did he modify something, hear a bang, just start it for the first time in 5 years, or did it just begin as a stutter and grew from there? |
