    Default Vin 164

    Hi all,

    I`m a new member, the new owner of 164 and wondered if anyone could tell me anything about this car.

    I imagine I`m going to be on here a fair bit in the future `cos I`ll need your support and advice as I`m also having a 75 v8.

    Best wishes to you all.

    Cheers,

    Stew.

    Default 260/75 v8/lpg

    Morning folks,

    Finger ytrouble again this morning but no worries `cos I`ve been allowed to go on the top deck of a bus on my own now that I`ve stopped dribbling.

    I`ve got 64 now and it has presence, lending me an air of authority when I drive it which I`ve never had before. Not sure how to, or even if I should, take advantage of my new found status.

    Advice will be gratefully received.

    Tested a 75 cdti auto against a 75v8 at SMC last week and decided the diesel auto is more comfortable. I suppose you`ll all howl in disgust and may even tell me you don`t want me but I can atke it.

    The v8 is a good drive but the problem is that I wanted another gear. I couldn`t relax with only 3 despite the engine turning over so slowly so perhaps it`ll be my loss.

    Finally, does anyone know who is best at LPG conversions in the Nottingham area?

    Cheers,

    Stew.
