But my new inline 5 is lovely .. [/quote]

Am I right in thinking this was a fictional motor,but then there is no other sound finer
than a monster v8 burbling down the road.
Sorry all I ment was if it was sat on the drive i would have been out chugging in it not writing about it.
Thanks rod

My car's got 6.5 litres under the bonnet, admittedly, only 1.9 of those are in the engine, the rest are in the washer bottle

Gah I lost count of the pistons, blocks and cars in the yard alone!!!

Mines got 16valves - admittedly 8 of those are in the radio

True. But our former MW's are just as good, but better on the fuel. Cannot say that my 159 3.2 Q4 is economical.

Yes, better on fuel but only because it was half the weight. My new beastly has a 2655kg curb weight. Fuel and passangers put it over 3000kg ... ?

3.2 V8 and 225bhp?

Jaguar XJ8?

Mmm, okay then, I can offer you 48 valves, 4.5 litres & 345 horses. Ok, so that's not the biggest in the world, but I've never had any complaints so far.
