[QUOTE="lemur, post: 606162, member: 2483"] Just done a Scooby and freeway flier combo in mine, what can I say? it does what it says on the tin. The engine feels 'modern'.. if that makes sense, already this year I'm beyond my usual mileage.. living in the midlands we do have to put the miles in to reach the coast and decent weather. Yeah people bang on (don't they just!) about how a properly maintained aircooled engine is so very reliable but I've owned one for years, I know many other owners and I'm on here reading everyone's issues too much lol ..and my conclusion is we all spend too much time messing about with this and that in the engine bay.. how many maintenance hours do you put in on your daily driver, assuming it's a newish 'family type car'?? not anywhere near as many I'm guessing. I've no regrets, in fact I can see both sides here but recently at a show the bus to the left of us wouldn't start and the one to the right wouldn't idle without being nursed till warm. As stated above, once the conversion is complete should you need a replacement engine they are everywhere and for pence. I wouldn't rule it out! Just my opinion of course. Doesn't suit everyone's needs. :D Liam [/QUOTE]
