works fairly handily in a Sierra XR4X4 too, I might add - even w/ a Yank
behind the wheel on the wrong side of the road... (we just didn't know
what
it was called)

had my first experience w/ ABS ever on a dual-carriageway at 115+ coming
back
from Bath in the same car. interesting... nice car, but didn't quite
have the
same fit/finish, nor did it have the same 'flickability' as my old 4KQ.
I
probably would've ignored both if I could've had a Cosworth version of
the
same.
