Diesel? That's for Teachers and Coppers, you Muppet

One of my teachers at school had a Pontiac Firebird. Don't think that was a diesel.

my science teacher had a rover 100 and i don't mean the metro shit thin, this thing was a big grey tank lol

Not a 100, then. 105 or 110, possibly. Both nice cars that the current 75 takes 'design clues' from.

My Mum, a teacher, now retired, has never owned a diseasel. She hired a Pug405 TD once and declared it gutless.

She did however own 4 transaxle Alfas - 1.8 Guilietta, 2.0 GTV, 2.0 Alfetta, 2.0 Guilietta...

She strongly approves of my taste for large V8s too.

Must be a Murray thing, as I agree wholeheartedly with you both.

Diesels are for penny pinching, no fun to be with, cheapskates.

I'd potentially be up for it depending on dates and stuff.

How much space do you have? Enough for me and Dan to bring some wee little RC cars? :)

Wrong Thread Alert !

:)

I'd have one, and I'm neither of the above !

One caveat though - it'd have to make at least 200bhp, and live in a sensibly-priced modern used car. Which unfortunately, leaves me to choose from a selection of slightly less than f*ck all - so I'm lumbered with a 3.0 V6 Petrol lump instead.

He's been sniffing ford gold paint fumes again :)

you can chip a volvo 2.4 D5 to 200bhp :)

Yep - but I want ~200bhp as standard, so I can chip to ~230bhp :) I'll prolly end up with a 330d at some point...

Test of a chipped 530d in Autocar this week. Think they said it's the fastest diesel they've tested. 0-60 in about 6 seconds.

that would be comedy to watch as it hugged my MR2's boot :)

Alpina Diesel twin turbo. If you can handle a left hooker.

Or one of these

Yep, that's the one. See the 535d too - same engine, but with twin alternate (sequential ?) Turbos. A small one for no lag, and then a large one instead (not aswell !) once you get up the rev range. Very nice :)

Ah. Sorry, it was a 535d.

I love gold

Yeah, but you can do what I did and buy a V8 petrol one with >100bhp more and the steering wheel where you'd prefer.

Works for me :)

Git...

What's your fuel consumption anyway? ;)
