How did they like the Rosenbauer engines?

^{I gather that the KME engines were disliked because of their poor design, but were the reliable otherwise?}

[Juice]

You know, I was just thinking the same; as much as I despise KME, from reading all of that, a majority of the problems inly in a poor spec. I refer this to Chief Reeves, how many times recently has he talked about spec'ing a piece of junk? While it sounds like the guys that actually use them had very little say until it was too late, the people who DID spec. them have no room for complaint. I would call this spec. unsuccessful, and I have no irons in the fire.
