It`s very slightly more sporty than the non sporting. Bit like I`m very slightly
more sporting than Pavarotti.

ZVH. What a mad idea that was. You`ve got a Zetec engine, a reasonably
good, rev-happy engine, so you take the 16 valve head off it, and put a CVH
head, known for lots of problems like valve guides going, etc etc. Okaaay.
Seriously, what *is* the attraction in doing that? Is it the extra low-down
torque that the 8-valve CVH head provides? Is it worth the sacrifice?
Having said all that, I`ve had a couple of 1.3CVH Escorts, and I was always
quite impressed with them, compared to the 1.3 OHVs I`d previously had -
they had hydraulic tappets for one, and did seem a lot more modern, smooth
and refined. In comparison, like.

That be being the Rangie then? It is a V8, isn`t it?
Sorry for asking (I know these questions are frowned upon), but what sort of
mpg are you getting from it, on average?
