Haha there is that! I guess a big steel trailer and chipper kinda makes people use their brakes!!

Yeah the idea of a nice old v8 makes me salivate, I've actually got one at home awaiting some work and a vehicle to put it in, maybe it'll go back in the rangie if ever finish it!

I have fond memories of sitting in the passenger seat next to my old man in his 2 door v8 pulling out a Christmas steel lorry that had wedged itself in a drainage gully, amazing! That one incident is pretty much what got me hooked, and I was only 8 or 9!!

My van is probably pushing 75 (100/tonne), my disco td5 112 (50/tonne) and the bike 194 (500/tonne).
Best torque is definitely my td5 though.

Hi All,
According to the handbook my RR has a supercharged version of the Jaguar 4.2-litre V8 developing 400 hp. Impressive number perhaps but all I know is from a standing start you hit 60 mph very quickly indeed. Well done Land Rover for actually getting it into the car and making it stay there when you kick down the fast pedal because you certainly know there is something very growly under the hood. For the record, don't even think about mpg, it's pointless. Just enjoy the ride.

I know that engine but I've still got mine in the XKR, worth the MPG for the smiles although I still reckon I get mid 20's, 30 on a run

Having said that my son loves to travel by train. It's down to personal choice I guess.
