L322 Range Rover, I know you could live with one.
I'm currently considering a new car, it'll either be another Range Rover, or a nearly new Volvo S80 D2...yes the one with a 1.6 diesel engine. But £20 RFL and 68 mpg is appealing, even though if 0-60 is 12 seconds 

Even a 2.2 Omega with a slushbox is quicker than that (at 45% of the mpg)

You know you want too...

Going by the tread so far looks like another Omega it is then...

Mr Joshwyatt. When I'm an old....old....old... man  with an allotment and erectile dysfunction I may well also consider this Volvo.

...but while I have breath in my body I'd prefer a TVR Griffith 500.

Looks to be a bargain  ...... just needs mats & a towbar!

The reason I bought the Omega is that, sooner or later, I was going to kill myself in a car that did 0-60 in 12 seconds. I need a bit more overtaking power than that, and I can't see TB being any different in that respect.

At this rate, the Bullet may get a reprive.

There is sod all out there that tickles my fancy (for sensible money)

Yep. Exactly the same situation that I've been in and will be again... I'm just hoping I can keep my two (Well i'll probably keep the 3.2 forever to be honest, looking at what SD1's now fetch) running until XF's are worth sod all sit in my budget range.

[chrisgixer]

Yeah. We know.


Oh and er, welcome to the forum btw. .

By sensible money.... Do you mean.... Say, 5k?


Or are we talking one of those cash v desire equations?

One of them.  Although there is always an upper limit, plus there is a good change it may have to be diesel unless its very cheap.

What? Diesel...?  .... So getting married and having kids then? Another one gone. They're dropping like flys.

Now you're being just silly, stupid boy Pike.

With the local BP stopping selling LPG, and the next nearest being a 23 mile round trip, LPG may not be a viable option now. So either a reasonable diesel or shitbox petrol. No brainer really.
