www.splitfire.comAnyone have any experience with these kinds of plugs, two-wheel, four-wheel, whatever?? If you scroll through the application guide, they've got an applicable spark plug model for the Bonneville and America, so was just curious. Seems like they'd be an interesting experirment, though how they would compare to NGK iridiums, or the bosch platinum+4's would be anyone's guess.

RoundSlide,
I've used those before. I liked them, and noticed a distictly stronger spark.
They became unavailable at my local auto-parts store (Schuck's) so I went to the NGK iridiums.
But, they were good plugs.

They work real good for a little while. There are more sharp edges for the spark to jump from/to, and sharp edges are good for a hot spark. Unfortunately, the sharp edges erode soon and you are left with round edges and less metal in the spark gap, so they don't work as well as regular plugs. Another thing, unless they changed their ways recently, they buy up production overruns from regular plug makers and rework them. So, you never know what you are really getting.

Them Triumph Spitfires just down-right suck the big ones. That's why they went out of business, them and British Leyland, they all sucked! They sure look sweet, beautiful colors and all, but....what??? What's that? Oh,... Splitfire..... "nevermind" 
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Yeah Ray, but didn't we also get the Alegro, Marina, Maxi and the Princess .. ??  
Being picky but wasn't the Mini a BL only because they took over from Austin?

OK, yes I admit that they also brought out the "Agro" the "Taxi" and "the not so pretty Princess". And yes they took over from Austin, but then didnt some manufacturer called Rover jump in and that is a long story, but they dont make em like they used to? http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/photopo...=500&page=1

.... don't go there!! 
Stories abound that production is supposed to start up again ...
Far East investment.
Probably the same company that let it go to the wall so they could buy it up cheap ...
