oh sheit! I didn't know that.

Hell I'd be bitching at anything that didn't get over 30mpg for that price!

But on the flip side you have good public transportation.

Dont bet on it

The argument at the moment is that our government are taking so much in fuel tax/road tax and now charging $10 to drive into the centre of London but very little of it is put back into the public transport system If our public transport was very good then we wouldnt worry too much about fuel prices.

If i dirve to my Mums about 270 miles form here it costs me maybe $45 in fuel but if i took the train it would cost almost $100

We have what is called a NICH line. At the NICH all our hand made engines are built. The Cobra, GT-40 and now the new Lightning engine.

I thought he meant the current L engine, which I don't believe it run through a line like the Cobra engines. Now the new engines may be a whole other story of which I don't have a clue.

The GT motor is also a dry sump, and they have different internals than the L
