    No, no, no! The "308" means 308 cu. inches!! The car has at LEAST 350 HP. And don't even ASK how much HP my 328 has.....

    Oh, sorry. I guess my meds wore off.... LOL

    I don't give much credibility to someone who misspells his own city's name . . .

    That link now goes to a 2001 Range Rover.....for $3,000. Hhhhmmmmmm....seems a little low for a nice Range Rover.

    Fair chance the lister is a scam artist.....

    WHOA !!!!!

    That is strange. My speedo says that my 308 car can go up to 80 mph.


    Did I get taken?

    :(

    I used to believe that 308 meant 3 liter 8 cylinder, but that's just research and stuff. I finally figured out that it was the number of yardz it takes to go from 0-120kph.

    Wow, I always thought it meant my car could do the 1/4 mile in 3.08 seconds.

    P.S. Where does it say anything about HP with the Land Rover???

    When my FIL first saw my car, he said, "my old pickup had the same engine in it -- a 308."
