you can check out the fantastic loading capacity and drool over the turbo (attatched to a diesel 1.8L engine!). Its all about the junk in the trunk.

I get about 50mpg if I drive like a nearly dead. Even happier when I fill it with SVO at 70p per litre and get 50mpg! Plus I can fit an e30 bonnet in the boot.

Had an apprentice in the orkshop when I were lad and he was asked to jack up the front end of a Perkins V8 engined D series.
To be fair the the Ford the wheels got off the ground before the sump said **k it and broke, spilling 4 gallons of oil on the floor.

It was £500+ out of the workshop bonus to repair this :cry: but we got some money back by taking the sump to the scrappies. :)

The appo got the name of milkbottle becasue of his glasses. :mad:

In the old days I used to have a lot of old Italian cars, and they was rusty. It was always a new discovery to jack the cars up, because of rotten floor and sills..... :D
