.. well to a point, the thing weighs closer to 2 tonnes than 1 ton so it doesn't do what a coop can but it's the first time in a few years that I've bought a car that I was actually after as oppose to what does the the job and happened to be around at the time. My new puppy, I've been looking at these at these for a while and just as I was about to look at another sensible Volvo, this popped up locally.
