The one that lives across the road has a Cosworth engine in it. It's also a
4x4, and shifts quite well in straight lines. It looks _DAMNED_ hairy going
round corners, though, especially under power. Rear drive shafts last about
three months.
At one time, I saw quite a few driving about. These days, they're very rare.
