^ just a different driving experience Rory, what they lack in torque you need to make up for with revs. Handle nice on the curvey stuff though.

Flamenco...It all depends on the reason for retirement....the don't get rebuilt as much as screwed together from available parts..much cheaper that way.

The last engine (161) was a freeby..but gutless..way too gutless...This engine was a freeby too (thanks Tuff)..it helps to have the power to climb the driveway.
