It's a lovely noise the sound of a V8 eh? I think you'd like the sound of the Land8 Goran, i'll see if i can get it started over the wk-end and record it.

The Land8 has the baby 3.5 Rover V8 shoe horned in it, but i made the exhaust by welding scrap pipe together and a small silencer from my local tyre and exhaust place. She sounds like an monster.

Here you go Goran, the Land8's noise. Sorry it's taken a while but she's not been started in about 12 months and needed a battery and some love
