But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

You, sir, are on a slippery slope towards an air-cold vehicle of some sort.

It's been fixed for months - it was only out for 2-3 weeks earlier in the year when they snapped a driveshaft.

Go Wightlink after 22:30 and it's £15 each way + £1 per additional passenger.

The wagon looks like a dinky car next to the new one in your sig Chuff.

Good work though, something different
