Bye bye everybody!

[BrutusHSV]

Well not yet but Brutus is up for sale. I may not have been very active on here but the advice and help has been fantastic and enabled me to turn him into, for me, the ultimate NA VXR8 so I wanted to say thanks.

Just in case you're interested as to his replacement...Well the reason why I bought him in the first place is, mpgs aside, he can play all roles one could want in a car. Truth is, I don't think he can be replaced by one car so I have bought my everyday vehicle a Range Rover Vogue SE 3.6 TDV8 (pictures below) and, when Brutus is sold, will get a weekend toy with the front runner currently being a TVR Tuscan.

Cheerio!

blanked out front plate but not back plate!

Good luck and interestingly been looking at the tdv8 so would be nice to hear how you are getting on with it

But you've only just finished Brutus? Shame to see you let it go - car looked epic.

Some lucky new owner will be getting a cracking car that's for sure.

Good choice. I still lust after T350's, and they sound epic. Prices have climbed in the last couple of years too.

Family wedding yesterday and we had to take both cars. Our current "fleet". The Disco4 is the later 255PS version with the 8-speed box (and more torque than the big8) - it's a superb piece of kit.

I look at them every day and that s the best thing to do , if you like the hard shoulder they are the motor
That oval badge never lets you down in that way

Well you dont see many Landcruiser specialists do you

We bought a 55 plate sport TDV6 a few yrs back (still have it). Its great to drive but expect to pay 1000 min per yr to keep it road worthy, thats ontop of the tyres....which it scrubs due to the self levelling suspension and rubbish front bushes (that wear). Its frustrating but the crazy thing is I have a good one.......I have stood in reception at a Land rover independant (who is brilliant) asking for 2 to 4k for bills, and its badly designed components failing.

As per the monaro, I try to replace common faults with better parts if landrover haven't rectified it. Apparently the only good one that only need oil and filter is the latest freelander. This all said the L322 TDV8 is supposed to be one of the better ones. Good luck with it, when its working its the best 4 x 4, that said it can be a money pit.
