Sadly with heat my little domo sock / cover has grown and he's gone all baggy so he now lives on my tool box at work!

Yeah I guess you lot don't see that many little engines. Especially ones like that which bother with a supercharger? It works well, performance is like having a 1.6 especially with the weight advantage and it uses no fuel. Plus it's free Road tax over here! Although my future plans are to fit a turbocharged 1.6 when they become a more affordable lump here.

Yes, my dad mentioned in Europe you pay tax monthly by the 'size', so a 6 or 8 cylinder costs more, wow. Good luck with the future plan, turbo 1.6 nice!

Yes my old V6 hyundai coupe was over £400 a year for road tax! Pita! You used to have to pay either every 6months or every year, but now you can pay monthly
Also although mine is free I still have to "tax" it but I make no payment? If I don't "tax" it I get fined £80 even though the "tax" is free? Lol! They do say Briton invented burocracy. Haha.
Yep I'm after a 1.6 DIG-T (MR16DDT) from a Nissan Juke, bit will be a lot of work and ££££££ and with my first baby on the way, may have to wait a while. But just imagine 190+bhp in one of our little Micras! Would be a giant slayer for sure!
