I tend to agree 😉

A video from our roadtrip earlier this year

For those planing (or thinking of) a roadtrip in Norway, this video might give a good impression of some of the roads and the nature.

It's a long video from our roadtrip in June this year, and no speeding or racing - but very nice scenery ;)

Re: Wheel rim choice – Diamond Cut or Powder Coated?

I have the 20" Diamond cut Dynogynes. They were ceramic coated (as the rest of the car) just after I bought it 5 years ago (second hand one year old). The alloys still look just as new, and ride quality is surpricingly good (and even a little better after I replaced the P-zeros with MP4S this y...

Re: Roadtrip in Norway

Thanks for the nice feedbacks everyone.

Regarding the speed limits, you need to be carefull. There are both the speedcameras and the police with the laser to look out for.

However when driving on some of the smaler and very curvy roads, 80 km/h can actually be fast enough for some fun driving 😉

Re: Waterpump and some hoses replaced.

😄 Luckily we don't have a lockdown in Norway, and are allowed to drive within our boarders. My wife and I are planning for a two weeks drive along the west coast starting around 1. June (in the F-type). Might easily end up being a 2.000+ miles trip in beautifull nature. Let's just hope the F-type pe...

Re: Waterpump and some hoses replaced.

I was told by the tech. that it was a rather tricky job, as it is tight and difficult to get access. He is a very competent and experienced JLR tech. though, and has been working on Jaguars and Aston Martins for many years. And he is the only person so far that has done all the servicing and repairs...

Did not cost me anything extra, as this was covered on my engine/drivetrain insurance. Happy to have it done, as I thi...
