Petrol v diesel buying guide

If I hadn't seen my L322 (V8 on Gas), I would still have my Diesel P38 hands down....

But saying that, if the bastids hadn't nicked and trashed my 3.9 V8 on Gas Classic - I'd still have that....

And if the Girlfriend hadn't of needed a new car as her 1986 Mini Piccadily was giving up the ghost, I wouldn't of had part ex'd my 1997 Silver 4.6 HSE P38.....

And if the company I worked for hadn't stiffed me on the travel costs (they said they'ed cover all receipts if I transferred over for the 2.5 year design contract but then after 6 months said they wouldn't do it anymore due to the cost) I'd still have my 1995 Green 4.6 HSE P38 that I had to sell to cover the fuel bill driving into kent everyday!!

And then again if my 1988 Classic hadn't succomb to rust and if I had the money to fix - I'd still have that.....

My moral is - as long as it's a Range Rover, and you're happy with it, and you can afford/justify the running costs - who cares if it burns oil, petrol or gas....

Just love the damn thing is all I ask....

Not all Jap stuff is as reliable as you may think. Lad went down to Stoke the other day to pick up a 2008 Nissan Navara. Beautiful motor according to him. But MOT had run out, so he said get it tested and you can have my 8 grand. Engine blew up on way to test station. Bloody lucky lad to get away with that one.

Likewise Wammers but not in the same ball park,i have a mint 60k miles 1991 mx5 1.6i,hardly a Porsche or a V8 but for fun seat of the pants driving,it is hard to beat.Had it 10 years(garaged) and does less than 500 miles a year,and will still have it in another ten years.And of course the beauty is it's Japanese,so is totally reliable!!!

I wish I'd got a petrol P38! Converted to gas at 74p per litre. Cheaper to run than my diesel on bio! I'm going to have to start making it myself - which when I do, I'll be glad I got a diesel....
