    Thanks every1.

    Google musn't like me or something, it seems to put a lot of BS with the
    facts.
    I don't always have time to wade through it.

    BTW Why are TW and AMCN using 'p.s.' now when i don't seem to remeber TW and
    Dirtbike using that in the 80's?

    They have been using ps for a long time now. From memory they changed over
    in the late 80's?

    RAC HP is calculated a the piston diameter squared (in inches) x number of
    cylinders, divided by 2.5. Totally ignoring the stroke. In the late fifties
    and sixties some manufacturers labelled their cars with both RAC HP and HP.
    eg the Wolseley 24/80.

    I thought that was the RAC rated horsepower and the predicted IQ of the
    purchaser.
