What do you mean? That explains it all. It's for when it's time to get serious. What else do you need to know?
j/k

No useful or even usless information on that site. Also no hits with google except that site and this post.

Never heard of them, most fun on the site is clicking on the squares and watching them pop back up.

One of them emailed me about my 12A which Im still trying to get rid of..."willi is interested." "willi is willing to pay $50 or $100". I can get much more out of the housings. Frankly it got annoying. But no info, just speculation floating around. Definately need a new site..."When it's time to get serious"

I like a little humor in my engine. These are fun cars. If I wanted to get serious, I'd get a Volvo or something.

Goopy. When I opened this thread I expected to read "When I tore my engine down I found a bunch of goopy stuff all over my apex seals."

I don't know, I don't think I'd ever be able to take a company seriously if their name was "Goopy".
