    Herself was looking at the diesel lately and I was well impressed with it, didn't feel small at all. I'd imagine the 1.4 in something that light would have decent poke.

    Very much, lots of low down torque, felt very planted and comfortable at motorway speeds and responded well to being revved.

    He's actually dying to volunteer to be second in command in the armada and follow behind dgt in the Beemer :pac:

    I forgot to mention earlier that I was almost run over by a bus earlier, he decided as I was approaching his junction on the roundabout that it was perfectly fine for him to pull directly into my path :(

    I know it was great went down hill about when we started looking at them as thermodynamic system and analysing there efficiency but I suppose what would you expect in an engineering thermodynamics modules :pac: ah no it was very interesting now. To See internal animations of the rotary engine in action was class. Pity more cars weren't fitted with them.

    Ah thermodynamics :)

    What hell awaits you you can't realise :pac:

    Looking at anything from a thermodynamic view just takes the interesting stuff out of it.
    Other than sterling engines though, they are cool little things :)
