From an aesthetic point of view, someone has overshot the mark here. It doesn't trigger any desire in me.

It's interesting as you can get an LS motor in an MGB without modifying the bodywork......

I am tempted by a sebring style wide arch kit at some point with mine. Probably de-bumper mine this summer.

I had one of those Roamerdrive overdrives fitted to my Td5, an excellent improvement, it's now capable of 70mph motorway cruising at sensible revs and noise levels. Fuel consumption is still only around 28mpg, though, thanks to the aerodynamics.

I was vaguely thinking of a 2-night winter dash in mine up to the Applecross Inn in February, thought it might be quite fun. But the fuel bill is putting me off!
Nice thought, though "dash" might not be quite right word when applied to LRs laugh2 Had a week in Northumberland in mine while Sue was still alive.
On the drive home spotted Dave W in his yellow Mog going north having just collected it. Couldn't tell it was Dave across 4 lanes and a central reservation, but the timing fitted smile
