You are so right - a potential tow barge replacement for sure, especially since they made it available with a proper gearbox.

V10 + 5.2 litres + 435bhp

This is not so far above my budget that I can't at least dream

Absolutely Not!

I have one of these just now whilst Ms Piggy makes her weekly visit to the dealer to rectify something else that has either fallen off, snapped or died.

Granted, it's a V6, but seriously, these things are utter dog st. I cannot believe that Pork had the audacity (actually I can) to release this thing into the wild against the X5 for example, which beats it hands down on every aspect bar... yep you've gused it; the badge

This viewpoint is in no way swayed by the fact that I'm seriously considering chopping in the Porker for something a) relaible and b) not a complete pile of utter cock.

Point me at the X5 with three pedals and a lever with seven positions between the seats and I'd agree with you ...

The GTS is the one and only available as a manual - this is where we came in .....

It also has a nice big V8.

Ah yes, sorry, I'm so blind with rage today that I failed to notice. Still if you require a manual in your load lugger, then might I suggest something withought a Stuttgart emblem on t' bonnet.

Not that I've ever seen, but there is such a beast it would be added to the list.

Err, my current load lugger does have the Stuttgart label on the bonnet.

Seems all the V10s are tip.

The 2.5 oil burner is manual though.
