That's more than a mk4 fiesta though :S
Or a 205 , surely a mini weighs less than a 205? A Citroën ax is like 780 kg
Good torque for 60 HP though, does it rev to like 5k or something?

Starts to redline at 6k rpm. I've heard that the most torque is at 3k rpm, whether that is true I don't know. :o

Every Mature student I met at Uni was even worse off than the normal students - because most Mature students have real living costs as well as no earnings through now being a full time student.

I suspect he just hasn't edited his profile since graduating :)

Probably not updated it yeah...who knows, someone I know got a sponsorship from a company (was a quantity surveyor thing) and got paid and obviously didn't have to pay for course fees. So you know, we just don't know. :p
