🤣 I don’t agree with that. I traded in our 2018 Disco V at 18,000 miles for my F-Type giving up the space for 3 dogs and our UK holidays (4 of us) If I had used my head I wouldn’t have done it
We obviously have different heads. :lol:

Re: Jaguar wave..

It helps to give 'em a flash before you wave, so they're aware of your presence. Not everyone recognises their own car when it's coming towards them! ;)

Re: Petrol smell on startup

It's worth clearing out that drain in the lower edge. Nothing to do with your vapour smells, but it is designed to get any rain or even fuel spills out without running down the paintwork. I asked my indie to clean that drain when the car went in for a service.MOT last week and he said it was blocke...

Defo a possibility munchie. Thought I’d be happy with the 340 horses of the V6! :lol:

Re: Jaguar wave..

Of course. And E-Types. I sometimes lapse into waving at XKRs, too, forgetting that I got rid of mine in 2018!
