My new motor...
« on: 01 November 2013, 10:03:06 »
Bought myself a new motor last week.  Thought I'd stick a picture up and see what the general opinion is...

(Not that I really care, cos I love it!!)  ;D

Very nice  :y

Josh has let me have a spin in one or two Rangies, one of them being the 5.0 Supercharged V8.  :D

I see exactly why people buy them, I'd love one as well to be honest.

Might need LPG though  ;D

I set out looking for a black one Al, but concluded with that much bodywork and my OCD, I'd spend my whole life polishing the bloody thing!  You don't see many in this colour and I think it really suits it.  I'm really happy with it!  :y

Correct, it's the 4.4 BMW V8.  So far, I've done about 400 miles in it (some motorway and some town driving) and I've averaged the equivalent to 34mpg on petrol.  Not bad at all!  8)

It certainly does mate.  I tested that before I bought one.  I don't even have to drop the suspension to get under the door, which is handy!  :y

So ~17mpg on gas? Bloody good for such a massive tank, with 4.4 V8 lump.

Not far off figures quoted here for LPG'd DBW V6's  :o
