A guy (short attention span and scatterbrained) in our local club did something about equally silly recently. He was runing late and rushing as usual to one of our group Cobras drives last Summer. He was on empty...stopped real quick for fuel on his way to meet us, talking to someone on his cell phone at the same time while filling up. Always on the phone in his car. He left the station and the car was barely warmed up. He sort of revved it up a bit exiting and shot out getting in front of another car. Within 5 seconds, he heard a loud bang and called us on his cell phone complaining about valvetrain noise and popping from the carb. Would barely run and stopped. He missed the drive with us and had the car flatbedded to the shop with no clue about what it could be. So we took a bit to figure it out. Hehehehe.
Guess what, Diesel doesn't run well in a Cobra!
