Just call your pilot to pick you up in your private plane back to your mansion, then you can go look at your other car the f pace instead of the f type lmao

Biggest mistake of the day....ordering an 'ice cold' pint......Ice cold!!!!!!?

What were you thinking!!??

Regarding the tyres.....surely you have enough hot air to be able to fill them to bursting. Good luck with the warranty claim.

Mine came with an emergency kit in the boot, to pump the tyres back up. Did yours not?

If you mean they were flat because of a puncture, then maybe a good idea to carry around tyre foam just to get you to a garage to get them repaired?

The Jag Assist lad who turned up to me when the cat blew a fuel injector had to phone up to find out how to take the transmission lock off.

Not the most reassuring of introductions!!

It is concerning that they didn't turn up within a couple of hours, this could have been on the side of a motorway, would they have expected the car to be left there or would it have been passed to the AA or RAC?

I'd have had the Butler or Punkah Walleh blow them up by mouth...how dare they go flat ;-)

Did you summons the guards at the gated entrance to come help?

What? I'd have expected them to pay for the car itself given this terrible inconvenience you've suffered!
