  1. Lovely! Just hope you avoid the big bills!
  2. Maybe if they're rich kids, it's probably not worth the effort for an old £200 Nova though. You jest however making sure inside arch lips etc are cleaned is maintenance if they want to preserve the life of a car.

    Track day brakes

    Discs, pads and lines and the car will be spot on for road and track. If you get to the point that it's not then you can upgrade again. as he is well versed in all functional upgrades.

    Recaro Seats

    There are only a handful of people that change / have changed seats in the Zed. Chris`I had Recaros but no idea on the model.
  5. Out of interest, what MPG are you looking for?
  6. I'd watch the time limit too. I'm sure most wouldn't be doing big miles but it's worth mentioning that the frequency of checks should increase with mileage. Would it be worth including 'check yourself links' to Direct Gov or such like to check the legalities of things like tyres, insurance, MOT etc etc. And possibly links to AA or such like for other stuff???? Would things like hoses be worth checking? Quick and easy visual check.
  7. I have 3 screens on my desk currently. Put in an order on Tuesday to up it to 8.....
  8. If its a Jag van sure Didnt know Jag made vans mind There is the Goodwood Estate Transit with an XJ220 engine if that counts It's a mule, just a transit shell plonked onto XJ220 running gear.
  9. Ugly as sin....... I've always thought they look fine with the standard coupe lip spoiler too.
  10. Guy at the end of my sisters street has a white XF and it looks STUNNING. I'd have always laughed at the prospect of a white jag until I saw that XF. Still wouldn't have any other jag in white though!
  11. They're the gay versions of Navaras......
  12. I think Kind Regards or Best Wishes is friendly enough.
  13. Just remember the T and G are close by when writing Regards......
  14. Like you wouldn't believe. He came from an S Class which had quite a few gadgets. This is in a different league. My favourites (at a glance) are the Night Vision camera and the 'active' seat bolsters that firm up as you turn - sounds weird but works really well! Yea the night vision is ace . But my fav is the bolsters, feels odd to begin with, but always brings a slight smile to your face I know someone with the V12 version, I still dont think he knows what all the buttons do ..... and I dont think he cares. Just loves driving The CL65? B) Dad thought about a CL600 but wanted the AMG as it sounded better!
  15. When pulling the ski do you need 4x4 for the jetty bit at all? I'd say the BMW tourers would be good if no need for 4x4. Outside the box - '06 Navara. 40mpg on a run, you'll fit every bit of kit you could think of in the back without taking wet stuff inside the car. Can do offroading too. Must be a Euro 3 though to get that fuel economy!

  17. The car wasn't from Thurso was it? Recently had a member from Thurso with a black one but sold up. Where in the highlands you from? Am I a million miles off thinking you're a driller offshore? Where you working / worked? A number of 'tigers' on here. I'm a beach laden pansy these days but have done my fair share in the field.
  18. Stop/start technology and a host of economy improvements. It's the 2012 with the 5.5 twin turbo rather than the 6.2 NA which was horrendous. Even with the Performance PAckage (570+ bhp and 670 lb/ft) and a HUGE kerb weight it manages 20-25 MPG without too much fuss. It was showing 20.7 yesterday and he's done nothing but rev it needlessly and floor it for the past few days! So not that bad really.
  19. Ooooooooosh! Love it! More pics, more pics, more pics!
  20. No idea Daryl. There is an SL in one of the garages already..... The other side has a snow blower and my nieces toys, BBQ etc. no space! It will live on the drive, Shogun will be used if the CL gets too hairy in winter.
  21. You did nothing wrong however I would have stopped (sod the traffic) just to check everything was under control. Not everyone can cope under stress.
  22. I like it! Not on those wheels though. They should be silver and smaller.
