Don't think too hard. You might pop a vein or something. Just give me something bigger than a 1.6td in my Syncro and I'll be a happy Vanagoner. W8? Too big for me. I just want to go slightly faster than 45 mph. Perfectly suited to my non-ABS equipped vehicle. The cost would be difficult to justify. Not that I am able to justify spending how much I already do in this Vanamadness and Syncrosis. BenT |
