Hi mate, not yet Andy however they are becoming very cheap to buy now.... would make a good replacement for the dmax work ute... in which case it would have to tow the van every now and then...😮

G'day JC, my youngest son Cameron leased a 2007 supercharged V8 auto for about 5years. Fuel consumption wasn't bad for such a heavy vehicle. I could get it to sit on 12 -13 L/100k unladen while junior would always be on 16 or so but he drives like Stirling Moss :D
Biggest problem he had with it was wheel alignment and ball joints. there was hardly anyone who could set it up correctly. Even the LR dealer in Townsville stuffed it up regularly and it used to scrub the tyres out quickly when it was out :(. A lovely vehicle to drive I must admit.

I think it was pegged at buyers who didn't care too much about fuel consumption.

There are now a heap of 2.7s under $30k, many with moderate km and none with ridiculous km like my L322. This 3.6 looks nice (not mine) other than maybe the wheels.

Just offer stupid money. Sooner or later someone is desperate enough :)

What bike are you getting ?

[Piddler]

Either Bmw F800 GS or CBR 1100 Blackbird. Looking at bird in Launy Saturday 😀
The numbers look pretty good will probably be a keeper.
Going on a trip with 5 guys interstate later in year and I am the only one without a bike currently.
10 days around vic nsw. I was going to hire one and thought good excuse to get another.

Cheers

Oh how I miss my blackbird! You gotta get the bird - it's a cult ;) 10mm spacer on rear suspension and it eats up the corners

Yep, value for money that's my thinking. A fair bit of bike for 6k. Last one was ZZR 1100.
Will see how Saturday goes.

I'd go the Blackbird as well, a great bike even for its age.

[worane]

So, did you get the 'bird'?

[Piddler]

So, did you get the 'bird'?

Yes, picking it up later this week.
04 model, new tyres, gear sack and bag, pretty fair condition for age, regular services 38,000 km 😎

The tdv8 RRS sold pretty quick. Anyone here?

[shanegtr]

Looking at buying a Supercharged V8, 2005, 180,000kms.
It appears from reading through the forum highway figures as low as 12s but expect 16s, and around town 16s - 20s.
Can folks confirm the above with experiences rather than opinions

Also, we have a 3.5 tonne caravan, at least that's the maximum gross weight for it. Anyone towed anything like this, horses, boats etc and what fuel consumption have you had. Does it go up to 20s, mid 20s, or 30s? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Also, the caravan has 350kg ball weight, does the airbag suspension cope with this and keep the rig level and in good trim?

New to LR technology, been using basic Toyota LC. Any info appreciated, I know diesels are prefered, been using them all my life, but toying with buying a toy, and this one looks neat so trying not to be tempted haha!
