I've had a few emails with the guy, he's got a some other ideas he's toying with so there might be a few more coming to light.  :)

It is a bit of a catch 22 when you unveil your good idea - hopefully people will rush forward to buy it but you also run the risk of an equal number just copying it.

I do like what he has come up with though  8)

It has been possible for years to buy an oil filter cooler, being a finned aluminium extrusion held onto the filter by jubilee clip.It would fit the C5 motor I think.

i'd bet up next perhaps, and an essential is a liquid cooling system bases on PC cooling designs, not for the motor but the 2 x6 pack's in the boot  ;D.

The boot won't stand the weight of two 6-packs. A better invention would be effective brakes
