After lengthy testing, it seems like the average fuel consumption is about the same (13.4 mpg). However I think this is down to a combination of things: Most of my journeys are 80% city and 20% rush hour motorway, maybe more city driving than that. Given the additional temptations, my…
It didn’t take long to realise that the Cherry Bomb was not living up to its name. It didn’t really sound like an exhaust that should be fitted to a muscle car. To be honest, it sounded like a regular car, not the yankee beast that it should. So I…
