Gave the RS it's first clean today since the rain was holding off a little.
Decided to give the XJS a bit of a run out since it looked like it was going to stay dry, but within minutes of it being out the garage the heavens opened, so it returned back to the garage for another day!
Focus now...
Cheers mate. Broomfield College in one of the car parks.
Fuel wise about the same as the Beemer, low-mid 20's, 5mpg with the foot down!
Standard at the minute mate. Planning to do a few bits to it, would love the JS400 for £2.6k but to be honest I want a daily driver before I go down the route...
Fair enough on the wheels.
First bit of good news, back right wheel is cracked quite badly on the inside! So got a new one on order and hoping the garage will be reimbursing me!
Had a bit of a mess around with it today, kitted the boot out with a boot liner etc. Tried to sort my ipod out in it but ended up going with a memory stick for now.
Slowly getting a list of little bits and bobs I want to buy for it so will probably treat myself a bit over christmas!
Couple of...
Downsides? I don't think there is to be honest. Maybe initial speed off the line but other than that I think it's literally better in most ways that matter to the normal person.
Black interior pack? Tell me more..!
Cosmetic wise I'm happy with it so far, the black all ties together quite well...
So I had a bit more of a play with the car this afternoon and sorted a few bits out. All in it's an amazing car!
I love the attention it gets too, had 3 people in the petrol station tell me how good it looks which is always nice.
It seems better on fuel than the M3 by a good way, and it...
I've been using GoCompare for a few rough insurance quotes come renewal time on various cars I've been looking at, and each time I get a quote for ANYTHING there is a company called MayFairOnline that quote £477.00 every time!
So going from a 182, FRS, Evo8, R34 GTR, 996 turbo, C63 AMG, RS4...
Sorry for your loss mate. I lost one of my best friends a few years ago when I was 21, properly hard to come to terms with. But you'll get there, remember the good times and why you were so close as mates.
It's nice you've been able to do something special for your all your memories, I know...
Lol!
It is real, and so was the 8.6mpg it achieved yesterday on a steady drive. Good thing is it makes my M3 look like an economical daily driver so I can justify it that little bit more!
Had a car cleaning spree today and rolled the Jag out as it was a bit dusty. Cleaned all the inside, treated the leather, gave the outside a whip over and polished the glass inside and out, this made a big difference as the glass was covered in marks!
Goes in for service Wednesday morning so...
