Wanna hear revs? Check out the new Mustang Shelby. It revs to over 8000rpm (stock) and the sound is glorious!

Wise words Jay - they ring true for me.
Especially as I currently have an unmodified 'poverty model'.
Looks like you have a Poverty Plus - you have louvres on your bonnet, as do I. Poor Stanley is louvreless and only a Poverty!

I never thought of it that way. One step further up the ladder of luxury than I thought! 1800cc as well - does that count for more points?

I generally change gear at around 5k revs unless there's something too close , one can always overtake though !

Oy  I will have you know, that Stanley was described by the factory as having "reduced louvres" - or some would say "just enough to ensure that the spark plugs don't get wet"  For the benefit of Hoggy (who has now had it confirmed that we are all daft) Stanley is the 2003 4/4 I have owned for 11 years and c40k miles. Though lacking in a few louvres, it makes up for it with a bog-standard black top 1.8 Zetec engine, that has shown a clean pair of heels to more than one TM member. "Poverty model!!!" - Who needs exterior door handles anyway?

So now we know the secret: no louvres and no door handles = improved aerodynamics The standard model has the aerodynamics of a brick, Stanley has the aerodynamics of a brick with round corners.

In the age of being PC we need be fair to Stanley - he is 'louvrally challenged'!

What did Roger and I start? Very enjoyable however. (I will never use the word 'poverty' again)
