I suspect vendors are cheaping out due to the shortages at the moment. Edit: pinged him on WhatsApp. Legend 740 apparently. Bought in December 2021. Edit 2: he didn't buy them. His IT guy "got them somewhere cheap" so I'm suspect about the claims entirely. Ignore this! :palm: |

--- Quote from: AVGresponding on July 12, 2022, 10:27:35 am ---Depends which V4. The Taunus V4 went from 1.2 to 1.7 litres. The Essex V4 was either 1.7 or 2.0 litres. I've no idea without researching, what might have been fitted to US market Capris. Considering the shoehorning that Triumph had to do to fit the 2.0 litre straight six into the Spitfire chassis to make the GT6, it's no surprise that only someone of supreme pig-headed stubbornness would attempt to do it with a V6 lump. :popcorn: --- End quote --- These were the engines where one tops up the fuel and refills the oil tank. Ending up behind it on the Autobahn is an exercise in blue smoke. The V6 IIRC was the worst. |

I hope it's a lot cooler for this Friday, I'm going to RAF Fairford for the RIAT air show and watch a limited flying display and the remaining arriving aircraft from all over the world. I'm not looking forward to sitting out in this heat all day-long :-- --- End quote --- Take a (folding) bike to get from one end of the runway to the other! |

Guess I'll get to be the guinea pig here; I bought one of the SATA SSDs (SU760 Ultimate - ASU760SS-512GT-C) to wake up the PowerMac a little. :P mnem $35 is a pretty small gamble. :-// |
