Nice one Norm! Saw a Dyane 4 at the Harpenden Classics on the Common on Wednesday. Very rare car now I would think!
We all (macafee, yourself and little 'ole me) seem to be in agreement about small engines not good enough for constant long distances but I wonder if the statistics would prove us right or wrong? After all they say most engine wear is done on start-up, followed by cold engine. Motorway is a constant temp and thus less wear?
