I suppose in comparison to two cylinder types, a 1.5 is a "high revving engine" - but only in that way. We put a second hand 1.5 in Mintball 20 years ago this summer. OK, we've had two fairly substantial chunks of work done on it, but it's now better than its ever been and good for another decade at least. We're not continuous cruisers by any stretch, but when we are on we tend to travel - 10 days of 12 hours on the trot is not uncommon. I don't consider that as "throwaway". -- On-line canal route planner: http://www.canalplan.org.uk (Waterways World site of the month, April 2001) My Reply-To address *is* valid, though may not remain so for ever.
