dear want diesel

that is my exact engine set up ...
except now i have the 1.9
i can assure you that the mileage i enjoyed with the 1,6 was amazing
i have yet to take a super long trip with the 1.9 so i am unsure what the
mileage will be there ...
but as a daily driver it gives excellent performance --
loads of power and speed to spare ... at least with the california model
i cant imagine the joker unit like what is shown here would be much
different

now for what it is worth i will also relate my personal experience with
purchasing an imported german vehicle
it wasnt until i got the stars of early ownership out of my eyes that i
noticed the  port side door had been replaced
that likely the front window had too
and that the port bow crumple zone had been used just as described ... to
crumple --
a pretty good ... though not fantastic repair job had been done --
not that this detracts from our enjoyment of our westie .. which we really
love...
but it certainly would fail the gowesty never had a crash -- test
and also for what it is worth
the guys at gowesty who work in the shop loved our 5 speed factory diesel
they said they had never heard such a sweet running machine ---

the owner of the one listed on ebay will likely be very very happy
it is a joker or atlantic model ... i would imagine

yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
