Well the Manta still needs a lot of work.....

Thankfully my daily is a 330bhp Jag XF (also a V6).  Would love a supercharged V8 next time (XJR)

Well one thing for sure is i wouldnt complain about a XF Jag mate and a supercharged XF would be a bloody good replacement..or a XFR if ya wanna go nuts ..oh and broke ..those beasts aint not what i would cheap here 
Been there with a lot of work to go car too ..quite afew times in the past..its strange but kinda glad i dont have one right now .

Unfortunately I have to settle for a V6....

(Not my car, but this is what I have planned)

There's so many alternatives when it comes to GM power packs, and that ain't one of the worst. I have a mate who's a euro GM fanatic, and he's built quite a few proper rubber burners out of that. 

That Manta body came as a hatchback as well, a friend of mine having one when I was about 20. It looked a bit like a mini Chevy Monza. As far as I can remember, we actually did manage to catch some opposite sex attraction to that, probably mainly due to it's brothel red interior..

That's the engine I have in my Signum, but mounted sideways and with an added turbo. 

To plagiarise what Rolls Royce used to say, the horsepower is 'adequate'. 

I had a job yesterday which sucked at a pretty high level..no hard by any means but just plain stupid.
07 Toyota Estima right hand park light bulb replacement and realign the head loght beam.
Best way to remove the bulb..take out the entire headlight but first remove the bumper.
Like come on!!
Im not sure what toyota was thinking on that day but it clearly wasnt much.

I love that line about Rolls Royce breaking down...Rolls Royce do not break down..they just fail to proceed 

The Signum's the same, to change a sidelight or front indicator bulb you have to remove the ENTIRE front bumper, madness. 

But I found another way to do it, involving a large screwdriver and a 2 ft length of 2 x 4............... 

Ohhhh a 2x4 ..i see violence required 
I did fix a mini once with a Komatsu PC450 and after that i fixed a Morris 1100 and a morris minor with the same machine..and about 80 other cars.
Ahh that was a fun week that was
