Graham. . .stop it. winky somestick

Actually, there is not much wrong with Stanley's Zetec engine, (as a few members of this site have found out. laugh2)
However the gearbox is a fairly rudimentary affair in comparison with the latest Mazda 'boxes.
Also I do like the narrow body/wings & the narrower, deeper section tyres of the 4/4 (along with painted wires); IMHO they gives the vehicle a "classic" look.

I haven't had my zetec 4/4 long enough to judge it's performance yet, but I'm more than happy for you to experiment with yours on my behalf!

I think he wants a roadster but is unsure whether he would drive Stanley and a Roadster, mind you if one was yellow hide

The 2.5 that Williams can do will give you the power (and the glory) without the weight of a 6.

The 2.5L we do at Williams can be easily built at any spec, just like any engines that comes in the Mogs
