Decent diesels - Know any?

[nosmokenopoke]

Hey guys,

I'm interested in finding and photographing feature-worthy diesels.
Location isn't a problem as if I can't shoot them, I'll know people who can - so any suggestions?

Cheers!

(please use this as an excuse to post diesel porn in this thread!)

Classic diesel VWs are pretty sweet. If you can find a caddy with stacks, they look pretty sick. I'll post up a photo of one I took when I get home.

Haha, yeah trains and semis are pretty sweet diesels...I was thinking more about nice TDi's, BMWs, Cummins rods and the likes

[nosmokenopoke]

Hell yes!

Bit more on the 190D...

Budget beater, 2.0 diesel.
Bought for a bit too much, still cheap though.

Here it is as bought.




New ball joints, shock mounts, golf 16" steelies, w129 rear springs, removed spring rubbers all around, cut bump stops, a bit of stainless 3 & 4" inch pipe and a passed mot test later...









And this is part of the plan;



Along with more lows.

Love that car! Something very appealing about white tyre smoke and devils breath black exhaust smoke.

Shame you didn't ask a few months ago. I'm also in the mids, UK

My TDI before I parted it all out:
