I wanted to scratch the V8 itch too, but specifically with a manual gearbox for all teh funs. So I bought a Land Rover Discovery 4.0 V8, which at least adds a bit of practicality to the financial ruin Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, BorniteIdentity, somewhatfoolish and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 A silver spirit is a bad choice as it hardly feels like a V8 at all. Get an X308 they do richardthestag and Stevebrookman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Eddy can supply a V8* with far more street cred than any Silver Spirit......... **Lucky you, aspiring to something so achievable.

anonymous user Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 If you want the experience of owning a v8 just send me all your money. I have only had one, a Porsche 928, whenever I think I might like something with a v8 I remind myself of how it tried to bankrupt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Think that's bad? I had a Chevy Celebrity with the 2.9 V6.

Liggle Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Do it! I'm currently scratching my V8 itch whilst I can after many years of pondering the thought eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastblatt Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I had the same itch. Had a stag up to to 2 years ago and just recently bought a petrol L322 Range Rover. Glorious sound and very refined at the same time. Not expensive to scratch the itch but I know it’ll bite me at some point. richardthestag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The trouble is, like all itches, once you've scratched it you'll have no choice but to keep scratching. This is my third Cadillac. But the sense of serenity it gives you is unbeatable. danthecapriman, 59Impala, Bren and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 For a V12 you pretty-much have to be Junkman. A V8, especially a slightly shabby American one, is very much the working man's luxury car. chaseracer and richardthestag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Every man should own a V8 in his life. Infact you can absolutely not call yourself a man until you have! Make the change.
