    Diesel Quad.. Anyone got one of these?

    Ok, firstly, mods, if this is in the wrong spot then shift it to the right one. Sorry!

    Right.. Arctic Cat 700 Super Duty Diesel Quad (also badged as a Massey Ferguson 700d in Europe).... Im thinkin about buyin one as I want another quad. I know they're not as fast as a big petrol, but they carry 20 litres of diesel and will do well over triple the distance an equivalent petrol quad will! Anyone got one or seen one? Im off to play with one on sat... Cheers for now!

    Drop a couple of twin stacks onto the back of it and "juice it up" a little bit.

    Would look brilliant belching out a bit of black smoke when you give it a bit of stick.

    Great idea though - I wonder if I can convince the powers that be that a couple of these would be a good idea on one of our minesites - would be great for "security" checks on Cockatoo Island - just need to make up a bracket to carry the fishing rods.
    Cheers .........

    Simon, do they have a turbo on them - plenty of scope for power increase if they dont .

    Just googled and they dont, now how small a turbo can you get.
