[Data]

It's Citroen then Data, is that French Star Fleet command or still with the old command base.
They all seem to be going 998cc three cylinder these days is there a reason why?
Happy new car Sir.
Lyn.

Thanks and yeah, France wants me to take control of it's new Starbase in earth orbit...you can only do that with a French car!

Regarding the 3 cylinder thingy, yes lots of manufacturers going that way to beat the CO2 emmissions penalties being thrust on them. If they introduce a 3 cylinder small engine it offsets the CO2 emmissions across their entire range and the EU says they are good boys and leaves them alone. But the 3 cylinder engines are pretty good anyway.

My Citroen has the Puretech 1.2 turbocharged 3 cylinder engine with 110ps and 205nm of torque at 1500rpm. That engine is also available in 118ps, 130ps and 160ps format. It's tough and it's a smashing engine, it flies. That engine is used extensively throughout the Peugeot and Citroen ranges. My 2017 Skoda has a 4 cylinder 1.2TSI turbocharged engine with 110ps and 175nm of torque at 1400rpm. It flies too but the Citroen is much more powerful. The Citroen suffers less frictional losses than the 4 cylinder engine units, thus giving better mpg and power, it also makes a lovely noise when pressed.

Anyhoo, none of this has anything to do with the Norfolk bimble, sorry!

****Anyhoo, none of this has anything to do with the Norfolk bimble, sorry****

Very interesting none the less Data...
Pat has the Pug version in the smart car, with turbo...goes like a little gocart
But not as economical as the 1500cc Suzuki SCross 4/5 seater with all the toys...
but defo more fun to drive.
