    Does seem low priced, but you dont know who/why they are selling it could be a genuine car and reason

    A few years ago Dad bought a stunning Rover620SDi, was cheaper then others on offer with lower miles. Checked HPI out etc... and turned out the guy had to surrender his licence for health reasons. He got 3 years motoring out of it, and i had another 4

    Sorry Bernard, Personally didn't feel you needed support....
    You made a simple factual comment that there would be others that would disagree and he accused you of having your nerve hit

    It was quite clear to 'me' that it was him that had gotten out of his tree , but theres seldom anything to be gained from offering reasoning to someone with an OPINION, that was soooo much more valid than anyone elses

    The way I look at it, anyone who would consider running a V8 would not pay any heed to his argument anyway. I don't believe anyone goes into V8 ownership without a little thought, and the catagory he had set himself in 1.8T being absolutely the best, and so much so wanting people to drive his car and tell him so... was never going to consider a V8 anyway imho.

    I have nothing for or against the 1.8, but I would be thinking about diseasel and upgrading it if I was that worried about frugality (is that a word?)

    If we had all waded in on a therad like that it just proves we like our cars and he likes his

    those in the know would appreciate the 'more car' you are getting with this particular V8

    Of course the 1.8 turbo is probably cheaper to run (don't mention head gaskets) - sort of misses the point by a country mile though doesn't it? Or by about 2.8 litres if you prefer.

    im sorry if my opinion upsets anyone but like i say it is my opinion and im entilted to have an opinion of what i like and dont like just the same as anyone esle .
    Is he in a competition with himself to see how many times he can say opinion in one sentence?

    I think his shift key is broken as well.


    Anyone going to take him up on his offer to drive his 1.8T? Apparently the kick down is really smooth, seems hard to resist.
