After driving around with a stock single port 1600, I thought it was time to repower the Country buggy......................with a 1916 of course :P

Here is the poor old 1600.............reliable but unfortunately a tad slow !

Nothing like doing 'reduction hub' chirpies......................and putting it sideways through roundabouts..........gotta love swing axle, especially when the bum raises about 10 inches every time you accelerate🤪
