Stupid question

[mayhem72]

Hello,
I know this is probably a stupid question, but can anyone suggest to me why the new one is called a 'Puma' engine.
Thanks...

Hello,
I know this is probably a stupid engine, ...

A stupid engine? Oh well...

Puma was the code name for the Ford based engine. The one before that (the TD5) was called Storm (I think).

Goodness!
I didn't mean engine, I meant to say stupid question.
It is a fantastic engine.
Sorry for any offense...

and exactly why they came up with the name STORM for the TD5 hey dave...now theres a tough name....ooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!! so tough I think I'm going to wet my knickers with fear

[Blknight.aus]

actually they called that one storm after the word used to descibe the diatribe of swear words a tech let out when he accidntally touched the business end of the voltage amplifiers for the injectors...


used in conjunction with the word off it describes what most owners do shortly after saying "it'll cost how much" when they ask for every day items like fuel pumps and injectors.


Its also used to describe what turned up in the anoraks teacup when they learnt that their beloved antiquated mechanical injected simplicity had been superseded.
