Can have some good fun doing that, even with a tdi, just keep dipping the accelerator and nudging forwards, when he is watching you jerk forward a foot and see if he jumps the lights   :twisted:  :twisted:

I've offen gone down to see him about someting on mine, and he would be working on his.

He's been all over competing with it, I phone him up once on his mobile to book mine in and he was in France for a rally.

Seeing it close up, it's some motor  :D

He's a great bloke too, who ever buys it is getting a cracker of a Discovery.

I might pop down and see before it goes  :wink:

Nah. like my comfort too much. I've seen the interior and it's very basic, if any.

All been stripped down to bare essentials for racing.

It sounds like a monster too  :D
