Hello from sweltering Texas! Unfortunately I couldn't bring my Fabia with me so I left it with the old man in Cardiff, it'll be waiting for me when I go back for visits though. I miss the fuel economy of my frugal SDI.

Hello.

 

What are you driving now?

My daily driver is a 1st gen Dodge Durango with a 318 cu in small block in it and I've just picked up a run-out model Range Rover Classic with a teeny weeny 3.9 in it.

Just googled that.

 

5.2 litre V8 and only 230hp and 300lb-ft.

 

The new models have a 3.6 V6 with 290bhp

 

How technology has moved on eh!?

 

How much is fuel out there?

Ha, yeah it is a bit of a gutless old turd! Absolutely demolishes petrol too, however I'm really getting quite fond of it, it's built like a tank. The cheapest I've seen petrol here at the moment is $2.19/US gallon which is about 37p/litre.
