P.S. I've been for a ride in Chris Crane's (of RPi) 5.2L Range Rover, and it's performance is startling. It should be for what that lump costs, too.

I drove that car to Billing the year after the 5.2 went in, even running on LPG the acceleration was astounding.

What a wonderful noise! :(biglove): :(biglove): :(biglove):

No the Clarkson car was not road legal, it was the silver Range Rover 5.2/LPG demonstrator I drove to Billing. That was the year of the infamous LRO fashion show. Every time the show started we made a point of starting the Clarkson can and drowning them out, the RPI stand was just behind the stage. The SDI was built as an English muscle car for a Clarkson video and was terrible to drive, very quick in a straight line but didn't do corners at all well. Didn't stop too well either.

I notice no difference on LPG now with the multi point in. If I fit an ignition processor to remap it in LPG it may actually be faster :shock:
