$2k sounds OK, but I'd still get it looked at if you can!

$2k would be top end price

What size did they come with, a 29 is that right? so a 30 or 31 would be a better play tyre size?

There isn't much choice down this way unless you know of anything down south justin. Clarkie, I tend to agree to value unless it is very tidy, but as I said, prices here are a bit inflated.

As for power, you have to remember i'm coming from a series 3 with the 2.6, this will feel like a world of power to me!!! Gas also appeals to me, despite losing storage to get it. The big roof rack should offset that loss to an extent.

I am keeping an eye open, and I have a couple of leads on buyers for the Ambulance which is heartening.

Will be so slow with the TF727 the 2.6 may be quicker. They chew a lot of power as the were designed to go behind Big Block Hemi V8's
