Hi all,

I'm hoping one or two of you can settle a running discussion between me and my girlfriends father .

He thinks that a 1.0l Micra (2002 registered) will have exactly the same bhp as a 1.0l Ford Escort did 15 years ago.

My argument is that engine technology has moved on somewhat in 15 years, and the Micra will have better pulling power than the Escort did 15years ago.

Any comments?
