Sadly due to biblical rain storms on 2 of my 4 days between Kent and Somerset my planned 600+ miles ended up being only 450! The first test was assessing storage space for the stuff associated with 3 nights self-catering and selection of clothes for 2 people in such variable weather. With only enoug...

Just checked and mine renews on 1st January (6 months from purchase date). I'll SORN in Jan and Feb ready to hit the road in spring. Sadly, my car was registered at end of March 2017 so I have to pay the premium VED rate otherwise it would be hardly worth it for just two months.. If you're SORNing ...

700 miles in and my initial impressions haven't changed. Several back-to-back drives on the same roads in both cars have however underlined the differences between a sports tourer and a sports car. The F-type just isn't nimble enough to be called the latter. Next week I'll be assessing the touring a...

I won't bother listing all the cars I had in the 20th Century as only a Porsche 924, Cavalier SRi and 205GTi stand out. In the last 24 years I've had: X-Type 2.5 (2001-2004) BMW 328Ci (2004-2009) Porsche 996C4 (2009-2013) Porsche 996 Turbo (2013-2014) Lexus IS250 (2009-2016) Toyota GT86 (2014-2021) ...

Nice. If I'd have kept our XF I'd have refurbed the wheels in 2 tone like that - Dark grey with Silver rim.

Well….humble pie has indeed been eaten! Earlier today I made another appointment to properly check out the white one again on Saturday morning. This time I will have a proper look and drive it to make sure it is as good as it looks….. Paws crossed that this one will be ok👍 I've lost track of which ...

TH51 JAG - Version 2.0 worked better on a 5 litre car. IMG_1876.JPG Great looking X250 there. So you had the rather rare N/A AJ133 version? This was always my favourite view. The sunroof was rare too. https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/t8tph/XF/.highres/XF%20Day%20One%2020%2002%202016%200...

you like jags then I've always had a soft spot for Jaguars but have preferred 911s for weekend fun/roadtrips over the last 15 years. The X-Type was me opting out of the company car scheme in 2001 when the tax rules changed and using my 'car allowance' to 90% fund buying it new. It was a newly launc...

Thanks. Yes, it was very rare in the UK. Not quite as quick as the Supercharged version but a lot more subtle. A real Q-Car.
