I have a few friends in the UK and they are scared to death of having any car with more than 1000cc due to the hose job on taxes. How do you manage? Work for Parliament??

Quote: Dava.....I have an XJS too, number 001 Lister with a 7.0 engine. Awesome car and one for the future me thinks.

Sounds collectable ............. mine were just run of the mill V12's .......... :O)
Again frowned upon by most !
Would love to buy one over here, but a) they are expensive, and b) cost fortunes to maintain. I'll stick with my Crossfire SRT6's ........good ol American iron .....well apart from the 90% German (Benz and Karman) content............... :O)
I saw a Ram in a dealership last time I was home, and think it would be very intimidating on some of the roads I used to drive, but bet the 2500 Cummins is Killer for towing a 'Caravan'
I used to have an 07 6.7, but got scared due to the EGR/Turbo/DPF probs they were having.
Hope they got it all sorted for 2010

Damn, nice truck. But of course that RAM is a little on the light side compared to the other beasts in your driveway there. Looks to be a white M3 up front and is that an orange Nissan GT-R is see there?

Nothing will stop me enjoying my cars. I don't think I own a car with less than 3600cc

Razor sharp eyes there....correct on both counts. M3 is the War departments and the Datsun is my daily.........good for school runs.
