    It'd be a bit of fib to call it a sierra cosworth. But not a blatant lie.

    A manual four wheel drive gearbox.....

    The bottom end is the same as the V6 from the XR4x4, hence why it's such a simple/popular conversion. The engine's just bolted up to the original running gear.

    The turbo(s) bolt on to the head - not the block.

    I've got a custom double dog guard for the Sierra estate. Built for carting around two german sheps.

    However, my dog's more at home in the boot of a smart car! She's not exactly big.

    Hmmmm....

    Dumping it into 2nd gear in the wet makes the tyres chirp and the car squirm. I can't work out if it's worrying or enjoyable
