Sales pitch?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

I was fortunate enough to take Terry O's V8 D4 for an extended road test this arvo, and while it doesnt quite light the tyres off the line it does go quite well. I think it lacks a bit of punch over 160 though,,,,,

all this with the owner playing with the stereo from the nav seat

why would I buy it now after I've thrashed it??

Good to hear you are having a good time Pedro


It's certainly a fun car...

You wish Pedro! ... the D4 is not for sale.

I actually let you drive the D4 so later when you finally get a chance to drive a TDV8 RRS (that you seam so hell bent on) you will know first hand that the Rangie is an inferior vehicle to the mighty V8 D4. ...

And by the way if you had wanted to go faster than 160 clicks then you should really have shifted up to at least fifth gear. ... ...

When you catch up over here Pedro you can have a crack in a 3litre oilburner.
I think you will be impressed with its punch off the line,and its only the baby V6

SDV6 is quicker than TDV6 and either way that 8 speed box is fantastic. I haven't redlined mine but I do know it goes very, very fast at under 4000rpm. There's also that wonderful feeling of leaving cars behind at the lights or is that just from driving a Defender?

If they'd put the TDV8 in a D4... mmmm

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Its such a great engine,, you'd think more companies would use it

[WhiteD3]

I can vouch for the SDV6 having acquired one in the last few weeks and got a ticket and had the "pleasure" of doing a few hours with No 2 son at the wheel on his learners There's only so many high speed launches into roundabouts a bloke can take....

Or throw Terry out
