Because all you have to do is start it to get shivers down your spine

Thats all I can do with my fooker:crazy_driver:

 

[doz]

Because I wanted power when towing and it has nothing to do with me having a small willy :5bblush5:

Will fix it soon

 

[scotchgit]

I've just got a small willy

 

[discool]

That's all LR had to sell in 1997 if you wanted something quiet and powerfull.

If I stay with LR my next vehicle will be a diesel V6 which is more powerfull and faster than my V8, but then I may go to Jaguar and stay with a V8.

I just love the V8, it sounds good, it can be fixed anywhere(if needed), and the smooth power delivery. In the looks department the V8 is a super model and a diesel looks like a 300 year old bum.

Agree V8 is just right

To tow this thing round the UK and Europe, it has a big diesel, but in the back of the trailer, 11hp single-cylinder Ruston & Hornsby.

We'll be on the ferry tonight, 3-day show over the Dutch Whitsun bank holiday.

Looking at the picture must be an annual trip.

Diesels are fine if they have multi-cyls. & large capacity. The old GM V8 sounded great in the Chev Blazer & pulled like a train but a mate's 300tdi Disco I drove felt & sounded like a tractor compared with my RRC. As for reliability the RV8 (especially the original 3.5) is a good lump but it needs looking after & likes a drink, so it's not the choice of people with short arms & long pockets.

It makes my wet down below!

 

[bencorkill]

because i love the sound, turns my money into noise. never fancied a derv one dont think i will, only get a few more mpg less in a v8 and petrol/lpg is cheaper so running costs arent really that bad

 

[loudandproud205]

Price wise with LPG makes it tolerable, but they hate getting wet which is a royal pain in the arse.

Mine likes water I've had her in deep with no issue. It's a lack of snorkel that holds me back!

 

[Mr Noisy]

Do not be mislead, guys, diesels are SO MUCH cheaper to run, like easily half the cost in fuel.

But half the cylinders

 

[stutab]

It all depends on what you want to do with it. Daily commute and family car then Diesel, bit of weekend fun to put a smile on your face V8 if you got full pockets TDV8

Daily driver 3.9 V8 disco. When I get it from the states! Weekend car 6.5 V8 chevelle

 

[Ruari]

Because I have sooo much money

Or maybe it's that soundtrack and raw power and acceleration on the steepest of hill climbs. YeHA

Quite so, but large petrol engines are much, much cheaper to buy than diesels.

Together with the lower petrol price, and as long as you don't have to use the V8 every day or on long trips, it takes many years before the diesel "breaks-even".

"Fun for free" in those years I say.
