Because I wasn't bored at all, I decided to have a quick flick through me 19 16v brochure and I noticed quite a funny mistake that I hadn't picked up on before!
You'll probably have to save the pic to ur computer & zoom in on it to be able to read the text, but for those of you who can't be arsed, it says;
".....at a steady 56mph, the 16v delivers a remarkable 44.8mph."
Um.....err........okay then! Speedo's out then I take it?  |

On both my ph1/2 1916v's, normal driving id get 45mpg no problem at all, and at 80mph i could easily get 30 odd mpg,
on my R25 2.2i GTX i used to have i could get 55mpg at of that thing 
but on my 21t the best iv ever had is 36mpg, but iv never had that again its usually 30-32mpg, and if drivin hard i get about 25mpg, yet there is guys in the 21toc that say they get 44mpg out of there 21t's  i could not get 44mpg out of my 21t even if i was being towed by an AA truck |

It's a brochure of the complete R19 range, not sure what year it's from though. Here's the front of it.......
Has got a nice pic of the 2dr hatch.......
and also a cool pic of the 16v engine.......
I reckon they should've left the rocker cover & manifold black like that. Looks lush |
