Aren't you therefore missing the point of a GTD? Which then leads to the suggestion that you shouldn't be considering it anyway.

Only volcanoes and developing countries and China and Russia and the USA are allowed to create CO2.

We'll have the last laugh, choking on NOX and particulates and recirculating our breath through our arses to reduce that dreadful CO2.

Sounds good! Won't even hazard a guess. Thought you might be going full on saabfanboi. I was only reading your 900 thread the other night a thinking it needs alot of bodywork. Looks like the way it's built means alot of hidden space for rust to live?

They can hide some scary rot, the only places mine has it now is in the front at the bumper, the left drive tunnel, and the right wheel arch, other than that its rust free, Nah see i go like that for a while, then get bored and need something new, what ive lined up will be just the thing

Knocked down by a Bentley? You should be so lucky, squire. Fella in England IIRC had a Mulsanne with a huge Yank V8 in it with a supercharger the size of a Yaris. He'd named it the Mentley Insanne. :pac::pac::pac:

Indeed. I misremembered, the Insanne has its original 6.75l V8 turbo. Here it is:

Love the 159 estates. Hopefully they'll get down into bangernomics territory in the next few years. Haven't bought the same brand of car twice yet though...

300bhp isn't a difficult task on them. The engine is the same basic engine used in the camero so can be built and bored out to 3.6 V6. Along with the Q4 system and and updated exhaust it's be some machine!

Test drive wasn't enough to tell anything.

Boot space is shyte as is interior room. It was near €60k.

I'd prefer 3 Pulsars

60k? Was it gold plated? That's XF high spec money surely?

It was an XE 2.0D 'Prestige' (or Premium)

It didn't appear to have anything fancy in it and I thought some of the plastics weren't as good as I was expecting especially above the instrument binnacle

I think ye've all forgotten why brain scan is close.

A VP 4 litre has a Rolls engine...

GvidoR

This car Has end of life cert so can not go on the road.

What does this mean? What is that cert and why can't it go back on the road?

It is issued by a registered scrapyard before a car is scrapped and a new logbook will not be obtainable
