I traded the ol' SUV for a VW Jetta diesel. Now if only I could get that engine in a rwd configuration for my Spit (yes, I hear you all cringing as I type...), it would not only be a rocket (100hp) and stump puller (177 ft lb torque!!), but would get over 40mpg (I've never gotten over 25 or 26 in that car). But I do wonder how many rear ends all that torque would tear out of the car..... But the rear end issue aside, how cool would *that* be?? ===== Well, let's see now...the Standard Vanguard had a diesel option...and the TR2/3 was based largely on Vanguard mechanicals....so how 'bout a TR3D(iesel)? :-) --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ... It's not so much of a jet, it's more your, er, Triumph Herald engine with wings. -- Cut-price Airlines Sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus (22) *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
