Thanks again chaps. I am not much interested in MPG, I can off set some of the cost of petrol by lower road tax, service bills and insurance. I would love a V8 again, I don,t think i am much interested in the older 2lt engines, ie rover or fiat, think if it was not a rover V8 then maybe a ford unit. I plan to have a test drive today, may first step on the path to ownership. mind you it all depends on my selling a house in london and the housing market is dead. so it may be a longer want then i would of wished for.
