I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

How does it compare to an Odessey PC680 or Motobat AGM equivalent? (As used on BMW oilheads which have 2 massive pots, EFI and ABS to keep happy)

STill trying to revive these, but Probably wasting my time.
