Don't care what anyone says about American cars , I love them especially the Camaro & Mustang , had a Jeep Hemi for a short while & that was terrific can't beat a big V8.

^^^
Me too, the first one I drove was like this https://www.shannons.com.au/club/enthusiasts/wildweels/garage/1959-oldsmobile-rocket-88/ belonging to a USAF friend of mine. Lovely car. Short on gears but great on pulling in every sense.

The first big American V8 that I owned was made by Corgi, and given to me for Chistmas by my grandmother in 1966.

The car was an Oldsmobile Toronado, which looked great, and came with a 7 litre V8, and FWD.

The Cadillac based on the same floorpan and gearbox came with an 8.2

Nope, the Ranger I ordered.  Taken frickin long enough for the Lease company and dealer to pull their fingers out of their 'arris but I suppose that you roll the dice with that.

The iPace should be the next one unless something better comes out at around the same price point but I doubt that very much.  The BIK rate doesn't drop for EVs until 2021 so the 2 year lease on the Ranger means I wait for the more favourable tax rates plus getting the history on the company credit file which is a bit thin rdue to it being new.

Have you told him the space on the driveway will come in handy for another boat?
