Yep CIS is a pain in the arse. In a land where diesels are not penalised I would not put up with CIS.

A big V8 (when working) would be bloody good albeit rather expensive fun though.

I guess the best relationship with an old CIS V8 would be a bit like having grand children - have fun - nice days out - but at the end of the day you have to give it back...
