OK, OK relax.
It was just me being an unrestrained arsewit.
I've fixed it now.

Re: What car do you drive now?
We don't get Vauxhill or Pegeuot here. And none of our cars are diesel. They use that in CARS?

Vauxall are general motors so you get siblings of our cars im sure.
As for diesel yes its widely used over here the current generation of common rail diesel turbo's are very fuel effiecent and just as fast if not faster than there petrol counterparts.
a vw lupo 1.2 diesel will do over 70mpg ! compared to the 40 somthing of the 1.2 petrol. thats impressive. though its a slouchy 1.2
Bmw on the otherhand have some very nice units the 2l diesel kicks out 150bhp which is more than the 143bhp the 2l petrol produces and more torque than the petrol equiv(330nm for the d, 200 for the petrol). and is just as quick.
there 3l unit is upto 218bhp and 500nm of torque (thats a lot). compared to 231bhp and 300nm of the petrol.
also note the 4.5lv8 does 333bhp and 450nm
In the new 5 series 0-60 time the diesel is within 1/10th of a second of the 3l petrol, as for 50-75mph its 0.4 of a second faster than the 4.5l v8, and nearly 2 seconds faster than the 3l petrol !
it does upto 51.4mpg to boot as well. a top speed of 152mph also is no slouch.
Bmw only make one engine with more torque than the 3l diesel, and thats the 6l v12 in the 7 series ! (twice the capacity and twice the number of cylinders).
I've driven the detuned version in the 330d and its a screamer its really swift and has almost instant go. (slight turbo lag but its hardly noticable). shame its over £27k :-(
Going back to the topic what car do i drive ? none as i cant afford the insurance on anything just yet at least not anything im willing to get behind the wheel of.

Congratualtions, you've got the only vehicle in this thread that's made me go "Oooooh, that's nice. I'd like one of them". Absolutely unstoppable when you show them a bit of rough ground.

Re: What car do you drive now?
After our last Peugeot died thanks to an incompetent mechanic shafting the cooling system we've bought a '99 206 Diesel.
