What car you have & what you've driven in the past?

[mbman212]

Interesting to see the specs on engine sizes and horsepower that seem to be most common in Europe. Out here in the States, it's a whole different game...

My current daily driver:
2002 Jaguar XKR convertible w/ supercharged 4.0L V8 & 370 hp

Recently owned (within the past 5 years or so):
2008 Saturn Sky Red Line w/ turbocharged 2.0L 4-cyl & 290 hp
2007 Dodge Charger R/T w/ 5.7L V8 & 350 hp
2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4X4 w/ lift kit, 3.8L V6 & 202 hp
2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab w/ 8.3L V8 & 500 hp
2005 Saab 9-3 Arc sedan w/ turbocharged 2.0L 4-cyl & 210 hp
1998 Jaguar XK8 coupe w/ 4.0L V8 & 290 hp
1991 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance w/ 5.0L V8 & 170 hp
1965 Cadillac Sedan de Ville w/ 7.0L V8 & 340 hp
1964 Lincoln Continental Sedan w/ 7.0L V8 & 320 hp
1963 Cadillac Series 62 coupe w/ 6.4L V8 & 325 hp

Don't ask me what cars I've *driven.* The answer is probably something to the effect of "nearly everything you could think of."

You've owned pretty nice cars over the past 5 years

Yeah, old Mercedes diesels can run a long tperiod of time, I have seen 200D's (both W123 and W124) that had 1.3 million in counter an still they were running like new ones

Those times will never come back, i guess... Saving, saving and saving, that's today's policy.

The record of MB W123 Taxi is owned by a 240D in Berlin. It did over 2.5 mln km and still goin on

So i'm looking for a new comfy car cuz of my back and leg problems. I've found a 1997 Range Rover 2.5 DSE what you recon guys,should i go and look it around (got 350km to this engine)??

I learned on a 2006 awd volvo xc90 V8 mostly and got my first car a 1999 dodge durango 4x4 5.9l V8 which i currently drive ive also test driven a 2013 dodge ram 2500 5.7L V8 all of these cars are petrol/gas engines

I've driven for a few days an Jeep GC ZJ 5.9 V8 +LPG and i loved that car for it exhaust sound but hated it for the fuel consuption (if i used petrol it wanted 24 liters in city limits with LPG almoast 30l/100km) so thats why i wont have an US car i think that 4.4 V8 Range Rover sounds much beter than Jeep V8

My friend has a tuned P38 diesel and it sounds badass and its cheaper to have (max 14l/100km) and it have almoast 200 BHP from a 2.5 TDS BMW engine (yep Rand Rover used to be a part of BMW in the 90's). Original power was 170BHP so it doesnt smoke (only on high revs).

Hey mbman212!! This topic is really interesting dear!! I love to talk about my cars. In the past I had a Ford Fiesta. Currently I have two latest land rover car models. One of them is very special because my father had gifted me that on completing my graduation.
