Eric: When I park the Hyena (’88 T3 Westy) next to Ras Bulli Split (’66 Westy), it’s like standing Benoît Pouliot next to Yvon Cournoyer … just enough bigger and boxier. The 66 originally had 40hp (1500 sp) since increased to 1.7l and 60hp :-) > On 01-Nov-2017, at 23:20, Eric Caron <ecaron1@COMCAST.NET> wrote: > > Thanks for this, > > I appreciated the comparisons to the type 2.
