Malcolm took me for a little spin in his Bostig Dehler and a couple of
things impressed me.

The fit and finish of the engine, intake and exhaust into the van's
engine bay was a real beauty. There was plenty of room to spare with
nothing "shoehorned" to fit. Lovely to behold!

On the road, the performance was even more impressive. Malcolm
admittedly punched it more than usual, but this big Syncro with 16"
wheels was up to highway speed very quickly in 3rd gear with lots of
room left on the tach. Shifting into 4th (actually 5th with the granny
gear) felt like overdrive. The Zetec felt very well matched to the
transmission. This was FUN!

Thanks for the ride Malcolm.
