Hi all and thanks for the warm welcome.

If i do go down the charger road its got to be a V8 petrol, you can't have a Yankee motor without, it just won't do.
On the other hand i'm not a footballer or celebrity, so have to earn me lolly like the rest of you, so i've sort of made meself a rule that the next petrol car i get is going to have LPG conversion.
Nearly bought a Shogun V6 petrol 2 years ago, nice motor too, one posh lady owner so all good and no joy riding round the rough, but made a interesting discovery, you can't have direct injection converted to gas. Well you can, but it will all end in tears as the petrol injectors will eventually burn out as they're in the combustion chamber (obviously twit i am) but when not being used, get burned up by the gas combustion apparently. Phew, that could have been an expensive mistake.

I'll probably end up with a legacy 3 litreR, as they seem to take very well to gassing, and spend the next 5 years wingeing about the ved.

On the other hand, had my old MB nearly 6 years now, so it sort of becomes an old friend.

Waiting for next year to decide for sure, loads of people still don't realise what Dick Turpin and the rest of the robbers have done with retrospective ved increases, so expecting some very cheap desirable motors about then...well hopefully.
