Thats better. Calling it a 0.8 just seems absurd.

Have you ever popped the bonnet and looked at the engine while its running? Its like a blur!

It's just a sea of vibrating plastic! I wanted to actually see the block and things but they've stuck the airbox and inlet plenum on top of the head - hides it's shame!

The engines are pretty strong but the injectors are manufacturers from hopes and prayers.
