Is that a marine engine ?

It's one of a pair, 6.5 GM diesel, twin turbo, Intercooled / Charge Air Cooled. They have been extensively uprated for marine use. Same engine block as used in the Hummer H1 I believe.

I did.... she said I only wanted it for A) getting to the pub faster B) she knows the Jag can outrun the megane.... even when she's in a bad mood (many years ago she was driving our citreon ax gti..a flash git in a Jenssen inteceptor pulled up beside us at traffic lights and started revving the engine. "what a plonker" she said. When the lights changed...all Hell broke loose. The jenssen was wheel spinning, the more agile ax,was ahead and gaining a surprising lead at this point , I decided a shower and a change of underwear was going to be prudent and if I told the doctor, he might give some xanax, valium or something else to let me sleep without nightmares of that night)
