Qun Kwon and John Tarrant, and they all come out the same.

To the former:

“That’s like an old guy driving a fancy car, but the engine is so old it can barely run. He always tells you to buy a new one.

It’s an odd feeling of dread that the engine has given out.

It feels a bit less powerful since we built our first car, but it’s really not that much.

It’s like having your own old engine, so you can’t help but have that feeling.

It doesn’t help that the engine still burns oil, so it’s dirty and hard to clean.

We’ve replaced the oil every time since, but it still feels sluggish.”

To the latter:

“There’s been rumours about the Ford Falcon 2.0’s ‘old’ engine going bad, but if it was new, it would be much quieter.”

“The engine runs as advertised, and with no oil consumption problems (although the ‘black box’ can attest to some occasional problems with the air-conditioning compressor).

Any suggestions on how to tell if it is indeed an old Ford engine, or something from a Jaguar or Ferrari?”

To a guy who had a Ford Falcon 2.0:

“You can usually tell it’s an old engine when you can’t hear the engine moving. There might also be a slight vibration in the exhaust, but not as much as with a new car. It’s just you and the car, and no one else.

“There was one time I heard the engine kick in, it was a big noise, and it was so loud that I had to stop and put my earphones in. I could make out the engine clearly.

“It sounded like an old Ford 1.6 turbo which they sell there.

They say the old engines have a slightly lighter weight than a modern turbo.”
