    That sounds about right, tbh.

    They're well loved by banger racers these days too.

    The supply of Mk2 Granadas is drying up and the Scorpio that followed is too
    soft to be any good.

    Most other big stuff left had fuel injection and this is a big no-no for
    banger racing due to the possible implications should a high pressure fuel
    rail / line get ruptured during a big hit, so they're a no good unless
    something with a similar shaped manifold was carb fed 'back in the day'.

    Volvos aren't as competitive as the image of the 80s ones would have you
    believe, whereas the Bluebird is bloody tough and quite nimble in the
    company of both of those and the Mk2 Granada.

    he sold me mine too.

    I have the diesel if you want to try that one too.

    the only complaint I have about it that it uses a bit of oil but I
    believe they all do that sir.
