Right.. Stratstone Solihull - DONT GO NEAR THEM!!
£1k deposit.. no budging on that despite being previous customer.
Number 9 in the list.. Paul where do u have deposit down, what number did u say again?

Am on the phone with williams manchester right now.. the guy is being well suspicios.. yes the deposit is £500.. but when asked how many people are on the list 3 times.. he said.. "not many".... yeah HOW MANY u tw*t..

suddenly went away to his boss, and then came back and said.. yes the launch will be jan/feb (whereby he was saying no way to that before) and that no formal list yet..
now he's gone to get the list.. WHAT A STRANGE CONVERSATION.. i think he thought i may be the press or something!!

Now he's back.. yes the car is no. 6 and i've got my name scribbled on it! and yes delivery is expected for Jan/Feb.. so PaulL im with u!
Also confirmed twice that yes.. if for any reason i want to cancel.. im free to do so..

£500 being put down on thursday, as im having a little cooling off period, but he has scribbled my name down on the list already.. Also Paul he said, no more deposit.. final payment when car arrives in Jan/Feb.. no additional spec securing deposit.. thats interesting.

Anyway, so im now (well nearly) on list for a TDV8.. so that means im now a potential owner again, so now im not a gatecrasher to this site.. twin turbo diesel, with more torque then an SC.. YES PLEASE..

0-60 won't be quicker, but things like 50-70 times might be quite interesting, in the real world it could be quicker, but I guess it won't have THAT sound............

I understand it's not all that diesel-sounding..... I'm sure it won't be the death knell for the SC, but I reckon it will be a worthy competitor.

Ok guys, the engine power figures are out for the TDV8

272BHP and 640NM or 472ft/pounds of torque!!

Thats 90NM or 67ft/pounds more than the SC!!

To put it in context its a 45% increase in both BHP and torque over the TDV6. It also is 75% quieter than the TD6 in the FFRR. 2013 RRS SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

THERE'S NO STOPPING
THE NEW RANGE ROVER

You haven't got much longer to wait for the new Range Rover TDV8. Along with our 4.4 litre naturally-aspirated and 4.2 litre Supercharged petrol models, it completes an all-V8 line-up that simply dominates the luxury 4x4 market.

That's not much better than mine. I bet it will be heavier than mine as well and cost more.  TDV6 - gone
