i love rangies and v8's but i would say hands down vm wins. although a well sorted v8 will have the power and light weight.

VM for water

V8 for power

I'm bias so i'd say V8.

Depends what you want it for.

I run a V8 and wouldn't want anything else in 'Tigger'

I have another 90 'in progress' and I want a diesel for it because I want to be able to potter around the country without having to remortgage.. so I'd happily stick a VM in that (if I could find one)

There's a couple in a breaker's near here, but I suspect that's a little far for you.

Title: VM RaRo
Post by: David Lovejoy on February 18, 2005, 17:16:52

Mines for sale. :(

Engine is now sound - bar needing new seal on the Vacuum pump

Runs like a sewing machine.

Just about to put new glo-plugs in tomorrow

It's got a new rad, 5 speed and rear top tailgate.

I love it and so just the missus but we have too many cars. :(

Luckily I get to keep the 200tdi RaRo  :D
