It says delivery possible so you wouldn't even have to cross the channel to get it ;)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Hmm, shame it's so far from me, I've been doing a little research and it seems these Micra engines in both 1ltr and 1.3ltr are finding some favour in classic minis... now as some nefarious types who own a certain brand of small car and who will go un named :oops: seem to have done away with many Metro's in the pursuit of mini happiness, having helped dispose of most marinas prior to this for other cars, we, sorry I mean they may have to start considering the wanton filching of micra power plants.

5 speed box, more power, reliability, and available for less than the cost of building a good A series :twisted:

:o Ooh, that's nice. Low miles and all good bar the boring colour. If it were a CVT one it would be on a trailer by now, on its way to my place!
