You're not going to be able to justify driving something that drinks petrol like a V8 anywhere else in the world so why not? My Touareg averages 21liter/100km which wouldn't be sustainable in the UK that's for sure...:ohmy:

I went for a real Range Rover naturally aspirated. Its still going to be fast enough for the wifeys shopping run to Geant and back. Just a nightmare getting cash over to Bh for one reason and the other
Should be on the drive by Thurs or Sunday latest

Nice! I have had turbo and supercharged cars in the past and yes they are great but I still love the evenly spread power of a naturally aspirated V8!

Agree totally, I have driven the supercharged sport and whilst they make a great sound when gunned, I prefer the comfort and relaxed nature of the natural V8

Cash now on its way and date confirmed for a Week Monday as the owner is now out of country so another weeks car hire sadly

Wife now wants to get rid of current Recarro baby seats and get covers that match the interior. Think I am growing a Jumeirah Jane equivalent here
