    I'll look out for you boys on Sunday, I'm taking my recently aquired Giulia Quadrifoglio down, the weather is looking good.:thumb3:

    Look what Jaguar gave me as a loan car.

    I think the V6S and V8S came with the active exhaust but the switch was an option on both, I definitely remember speccing it. I seem to remember it becoming standard on the facelift V6S but I'm not sure about the V8 as the model line up changed. The switch made a big difference to the noise, I...

    Look what Jaguar gave me as a loan car.

    The convertible has pathetic luggage space, the Coupe isn't too bad, not as good as a Cayman though.

    Look what Jaguar gave me as a loan car.

    It was a great car and I still miss it, it will be coming up 3 years since I took delivery. It got a bit too much attention with it being one of the first coupes but I coped :) I loved the noise and had the loud button pressed almost all the time, although I know it annoys some with it being a...

    Look what Jaguar gave me as a loan car.

    I'm chuckling to myself that guys on a Maserati forum are slating Jaguar for poor residuals :) The QP is one of the worst depreciating cars you can buy in the UK and the GranTurismo I bought at two years old had lost its first owner approx £35-40k. I had my F-Type V6S for 13 month and lost...

    Anyone know this 4.7 Auto GranTurismo for sale ?

    I had this silver loaner when mine was in getting some warranty work done. It had the sports pack fitted which is well worth looking out for.

    Invite to Levante

    Surely they must be doing petrol, even the new Jaguar F-Pace comes with a 3.0 380PS petrol engine. I fancied Geneva, funnily enough from Newcastle as that's where I live :) I can't go through the week as I have a child at school and he would never speak to me again if I went without him, weekend...

    Today's Levante Update (it could change tomorrow of course)

    It definitely looks better than the test mules suggested. It does have bits of other cars mixed into the design but I think all new cars do tbh. I may have been tempted if I had a local dealer, as it is I'll stick with the Macan GTS I have on order.

    Buying a Maser and using finance.

    It's a personal thing, no one has the correct answer. I used to tie large chucks of cash up in cars but after time I realised it could be used for better things, i.e use it to make money not loose it on cars. As long as you don't get stung on the interest rate then theres nothing wrong with...

    Clean panel van for someone

    I had the exact same van from new, kept it 6 years as it was so reliable. It only cost me servicing, tyres and brakes the whole time I owned it. Pity it was worth peanuts when I sold it, I lease my van now as they loose so much money, good second hand buys though.

    Apple Watch

    The poor battery life is the killer for me, the latest Pebble lasts 7 days, which is more like it. I think I'll get a cheapie on eBay and see how much I use it.
