keg Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Not sure if this should sit in motoring or not but it's worth telling the story. Went up this morning with a friend and his son to have a look, went for a blast in a Defender 110, 0-105mph in under 8 secs i think. Chevvy 5.something V8 under the lid and what a noise.... Maybe one day... Edited June 13, 2015 by keg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Friend of mine had his Defender done up by them and was impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 In the true spirit of PW I would hasten to add that all members are whiter than white, and none on here would ever think of breaking the law, so I'm assuming your mate was driving as he isn't a certificate holder.

Scully Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 There is just nothing quite like the sound of an angry V8! Agree, but mine only did 12 miles to the gallon, which is why it got changed back to a 200tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
