My wife's 900 has just had it's clutch replaced and the mechanic who did it
was wondering why the engine is in back to front compared to normal cars.
He says it took a lot of effort to engineer parts of engine and drivetrain
for this to happen, so it must have been done for a very good reason... but
why?
