Bloody steering wheel's on the wrong side of it ................

Seriously - looks nice. Think it will be a long time before we see them over here though.

I'll post up a pic or two of a nice one that I was looking at the other day - camera's at work so can't do it now.

I agree. I am putting a 6 speed box in my WB ute but even that is overkill.

This one is fun ......................

Yes, but have you seen what they paid for a Defender when it was available there?

they did have a DOHC model back in the 90's I think...when they owned Lotus.

but this one has direct injection, variable valve timing etc. Thats pretty good for an old pushrod

I wonder what speeds sprint cars reach nowadays on the long banked ovals like Terre Haute, a one mile high banked clay oval. They were pulling 140 mph laps there in the early 70's.
