It took quite a bit! :D

It's a 13 litre inline 6 cylinder, 460 bhp, 2500nm of torque, 15 speed gearbox, 12 forward gears plus overdrive and two reverse gears! It's a "DC13" engine.


Believe it or not, I find it easier to drive than my Volvo V70! :D

Wow amazing how they publish stuff like this. What a best engine.

I'd love to rock up in my 120d coup that's broken but you will probably all laugh at me . Have fun though :) sounds like some nice cars going

Decimetres cubed I presume. 1 decimetre is 0.1 metres or 10cm. So 10cm x 10cm x 10cm which is 1000cc which is one litre.

So 34-45 litres.
That's what I thought but the sump is not flat like any car and that's a hell of a gulf between measurements, the oil cant be measured in Meters surely. Cubed would be a small 2? On a car or any Heavy Industrial engine that I'm aware with its's quite a big measurement especially for oil. Apologise if I'm being thick haha its been known to happen.

Just realised I don't actually know or remember anyone given that it's been about 10 years since I was last at a Motors meet :o

I'm not the most outgoing guy so if you see someone walking around with a metal band hat and hoodie on, give me a shout! Happy to chat ****!

Popped down for a few hours in the morning to see me olde pal Housey, and @Gibbo who I've not chatted with for a few years! Nice to see you again and yeah, amazing 600 :cool:
Seemed a very well organised event so great work.
I left before my pizza gland started going into overdrive :cry:

Oh and I saw lots of geese but sorry, no pics.

Back home now. Well organised event and sorry if I walked past anyone without saying hello. I have to remind myself who the bloke in the mirror is each morning so explains the issue.

Nice to turn up with a filthy car and drive out with a clean one too and good to see a few regulars and of course Sir @Tax Evader

Nice to complete the pilgrimage to ocuk. Amazing selection of cars, loved the alpines.

Very jealous of all the lovely cars!

Had a laugh on the fastest lap time. Would love to see where I ended up at the end of the day
