The only difference is that Northern France is rather flat and I am used the curvy/steep roads of the Mountains. Tim Harris has a bit bigger Ecotec. Might be an idea to go for a ride in Tim's Morgan. I have a 2.3 Ecotec under the bench. I don't remember what I paid for it, but I am sure it was not much.


As a point of accuracy, Christopher and I have exactly the same conversion - 1800cc, c.170 bhp, c, 150 ft-lb Torque, Variable Valve timing, Variable inlet tract, 7200 rpm. Absolutely stonking engines, and a perfect match for a 4/4.
