mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i dont know how many there are in Oz, but there are few in Perth. I used to have a Sierra XR4i that had the 2.8i motor and what a beautiful motor that was. Torque, power, responsive and the noise!!!! Sensational. but it drank fuel like nothing else. Approx 25-30 litres per 100 miles (possibly 100kms...) in the city.

We have a few here in Melbourne. I'd say there would be close to 50 in Australia.
I'm putting a 3.0lt in my Mk 3....Not as many horses but more torque.
