Too much information

Some peeps seem to be able to do loads of miles in them with no problems.
As I said earlier our neighbour here will be rebuilding one that will then allegedly be bullet proof, with the help/advice of this guru guy who races with those engines.
In the meantime it appears that frequent oil changes with the right oil make a good difference.

I suppose the point I was trying to make was, If you already have1 then do what you can to help but they all still seem to have that will it wont in the background.
So If you have a choice then steer clear.
Making 1 "bullet proof" wont come cheap so unless you buy 1 with an already grenaded engine then does it make financial sense?

There are many other RRs with a better engine/gearbox that are getting into very reasonable price range.
We chose the RR TDV8 but after research went a little bit more on the budget to get the 8 speed box over the 6 speed, because of the rep. So why would you buy something with a pretty bad rep at a price. that for a bit more you could get something that doesnt have (such) a bad rep. Certainly not a rep that basically makes the car a write off.

Now I also understand that the reason for forums such as this is for free help and knowledge sharing
