hi

new here but not to small cars. I've been running VW's since 1975 . got my first Metro in 1990. I'm on NO. 10 now . other than the 2 that died as twisted hulks , they all served me well.

latest is a 1999 2 door , 1.0 motor it has a 5 speed with high speed gears . a power pulley, 2 inch open exhaust,& advanced cam gear, it gets about 50 MPG depending on how i drive.

just got a Dahatsu Midget II with 40.000 kilometers on it and have had a 5 speed overdrive shipped from Japan for it . it got a bit over 50 on the first tank but i hope to improve on that with the installation of the OD transmission.

neat site here I've already picked op some good ideas to try .
thanks
Larry
