I drove a new car yesterday, a red FWD jelly-blob with a Vauxhall badge
on the front. It is really a Opel with a badge stuck on the bonnet. To
my great surprise, it only had THREE CYLINDERS, with 4 valves each. On
the boot was the name, CORSA. It did not pull very well, and the
steering was awful, reminding me of the Morris Marina.....you turned the
wheel but nothing happend till you pulled really hard on it.
I suppose they can make an extra engine after every three, with the
fourth cylinder.........
Neil.
