I just had to be the first to start a thread here!

Does anyone from JSH have a Land Rover or any other British cars, trucks or motorcycles?
I have 3 Landys left out of 6. Two short and one long wheelbase. All series IIA left hand drive.

I also had an '73 MGB when I was 19. Horrible for rust but was fun for a little while.
Never owned a British bike but taken quite a few out for rides over the years. Wouldn't mind having an old Royal Enfield or maybe a Norton 850 Commando.

Just stopping by to say hello,,,

Hi LA

What kind of Land Rover is it Smiling?

Hi Harry

You've gone international I see

Hi Sherrie

Not enough car nuts here in North America maybe?

Does yours come with a kangaroo grill?

BBQ-ing Kangaroos, Baygal????

EEEEwwww, they may not like that much...

Jesse-san!

That's what they call the part that goes on the front of the bumper! Maybe that's just a US/NorCal term?

We call them Bullbars...

I dunno why, there are more roos on the road than bulls...

well the four legged variety of bull..

Nope, no roo bars, bull bars or even cow catchers!

The little cream coloured one has a pair of "over riders" I pirated off the ex military LWB Landy I used to have. There's a pic of it in my profile. They don't do much good really, unless you're pushing another vehicle or hanging a tow rope off them.

I'm afraid the only british car i've owned is a black Austin Mini. Was quite a 'cute' car, but a man cannot be seen in something 'cute'. So i bought another car (and was given another, which i cant even drive due to insurance. It's a porsche 928-S, if you're wondering) but technically, my current car is british. Peugeot 206 GTi. French label, but built in a factory in Coventry. But I suppose that would be like saying Aston Martins are American just because Ford owned the paperwork. Which wouldnt apply now anyway, since ford sold Aston Martin back in March.

I'd love an MG though. The V8 one. I'd have to be reassured that it wouldnt keep breaking down though. I can't stand unreliability.

Ahhhh an MGB GT V8. An aluminum Rover 3.5 litre stuffed into a lightweight car. Great combo and they're kinda cute too!

I like the Rover V8. Good engine and lightweight but prefer Ford V8s in British cars. The AC ace and Sunbeam Alpine were perfect examples of these hybrids.

True, Ford V8s tend to be great. German V8s used to be my favourite until i realised that they're not really as powerful as a V8 should be. I have a Porsche 928-S, which has a 4.7L V8. It's a relatively lightweight car, puts out roughly 400bhp but it's not actually that fast. Top speed is only 160mph. Which is bad, considering you can get hatchbacks that do 150mph nowadays.

Fast as hell when it comes to acceleration though. Even as an automatic.

On topic of V8s, what is your favourite one, if you have one? I'd say Hemi V8, but to be honest, i'd only choose that due to the reputation it has. I've never driven a Hemi 'Cuda. I've only ever seen one in the metal once. So therefore, i'd have to go for the engine used in 'The Tumbler' in Batman Begins. It's a quad-V8 (four V8 engines). And if you listen to it - it's a snarling beast. :D
