I had a mate ( well he still is ) who was a rep  for an advertising firm ( printed adverts ) His first works car was an HA viva . He put a brick on the throttle and walked away until it blew up .

We did that to an old 205 diesel we had as a hot rod in a friends forestry. After waiting in tense anticipation for well over an hour the feckin thing ran outta fuel.

Would probably still be going if the tank was big enough!

My first van was a Vauxhall HA van, 1275cc engine iirc, bloody loved that van. If I could have that van with the 1.9d engine from my old citroen c15, it would be unbeatable.
