We are lucky to have diesels yeah. I picked my focus up in jan and I've done 3+k on veg since I switched a month ago. Great stuff! I hadnt planned that when buying the car - lucked out there. Most modern common rail diesels can't run this without heavy mods. My car just drinks it happily
As far as the scrappers - haven't been around recently, but there are always a pile of wrecked type-R civics and the usual boy racer numbers. Gross story; a friend saw one at a scrappy and jumped in the drivers seat to evaluate the cockpit - a fixer perhaps. There was blood and brain matter all over the dash :S obviously a nasty crash!!
