True indeed, as we all know. However, when searching ep.com or
EBay, it's incredible how many people get this wrong (including
owners!)

I think the fact that the WestyFord guy used the VW name as
inspiration *and* got the name wrong is just indicative of
exactly how far those guys really missed the point ...

Just MHO,
