Quick diesels?

[stevek]

Had a bit of a go with a new V**vo V70 2.0 diesel today. Bugger me it went well! I had to really stretch the old SVX's legs to pass him. No real bends involved though, and confined to around 120 ish but I did put a fresh layer of brake dust on my wheels. Funny thing is there was absolutely no exhaust smoke from it. One of my lads has a Seat FR diesel thing, which I drove last week. Torque in abundance yet the damn thing has 6 gears. Only needs 3. Red lines at 4500 rpm!
With all this muggy 'French' hot weather here recently I have really appreciated the SVX aircon, it's so cold I've had to wrap up some days! Must be built with Death Valley conditions in mind I reckon.

Have a happy SVX day everyone - I have!
