Fuel injection has to be superior for everything apart from soul or character.
Personally if a car with character and soul eats fuel, stinks of unburnt fuel, overheats, p...es oil on the drive, misfires when hot and won't start when cold then I'll take practicality over soul and character.
George Bishop, God rest his soul, wrote something very similar in Car Magazine during the late 1980s so I make no personal claim to the sentiment of the above paragraph.
Car Magazine was brilliant back then with such great literary exponents alongside GB as: Phil Llewellin; Rowan Atkinson; and the outrageously controversial Rabbi, LJK Setright.
O for the days when journalism wasn't constrained by political correctness and instead provided information and entertainment in equal and abundant measure.
