Where to after the P38?

hippo i knew it was time to upgrade from a p38 when i saw a rsemblance i never forgot

I have noticed that before. With the pre-facelift lights the P38 looks so standard mid-90s. Damn near everything had the same front end. Pre-facelift only just looks slightly modern, but tbh, anyone who buys a Chuckie should be shot. It is a much bigger crime than owning a taxi.

i might just buy 1 now and do a 2007 front conversion

big fat ass "innit" wheels in all black
300 subs in the boot
chrome wrap for the summer
snow plough front lower spoiler (always wondered why they were called "spoilers", hmmmmm)
4 tone interior
flip flop paint
and LED's all round the bottom that flash to the music

If you liked it so much why did you facelift, hmmm? No one likes the Chuckie. I have never looked at one enviously, they damn near killed off my love for RR. The facelift rekindled that love. The new RR though? Blergh. It is clearly made for the bling markets.

really that bad ??

i haven't seen one in the flesh yet.

but im convinced they have taken on the ejoke looks which is already turning me off them

Had a test drive in a Jag XJR today (Thinking of letting the LSE go) Owned a few over the years but haven't driven one for several years. Makes you realize just how cumbersome a P38 or L322 are in the real world. Comfy yes, but over weight and thirsty to the extreme.

You can't beat the smile on your face when you bury the pedal in the Wilton on an XJR

Good point, but not sure how well the XJR will cope with the horse trailer, especially off road..........keep the suggestions coming though

Anybody tried an ML Merc for example? Any good??

Wildcard option - LHD is a bonus - something imported from the US perhaps? Lincoln Navigator?? (Keith - je connais bien maintenant la systeme d'immatriculation en France... je pense qu'il serait difficile mais pas impossible d'immatriculer une voiture americaine - un defi!)

I know now the system registration in France ... I think it would be difficult but not impossible to register a car american - a challenge!

You could always get a H1. That should tow anything you like. Has a lovely TDV8 to move it along. Unbeatable road presence. Can be fixed with gaffer tape.
