Title: She is now parked on my drive....
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 13 September 2017, 13:23:11
....looking resplendent in IRR. :y

The guy who delivered the car must be related to 'Miss Daisy' because following the 130 mile journey from Watford the trip computer is showing 33.6 MPG. :o :o :o :o

How ls that possible if you are not Mr Tunnie?

He has left his phone and trade plates behind. :-\

The good news is he remembered to bring my leather jacket which I left in Watford. :y

Very easy, unlike some here, including that fatty little admin I don't see the throttle pedal as a binary object, it does not have "ON or OFF" settings.

I'm guessing it's a car. A sporty car with lots of BHP that drinks fuel like a chieftain tank. Much the same as the car he had, except with a sunroof.

I've followed your example.

Your previous car was an Astra (albeit in a colour that would frighten children and horses) and your new car is an Astra (albeit one that kills innocent babies with noxious diesel fumes) :)

Yes....it's another Jaguar. :)

IRR is a lovely colour, a friend of mine who worked for JLR got an IRR F-Pace for the weekend not long ago  8). I suspect it isn't one of those.

F-type would be my guess, potentially that one that was foisted on you a few weeks back  ;D

Another F type ?,obviously this will be the sensible diesel option ::)

Nope.....lovely to drive but as STMO rightly says nothing more than a totally impractical toy.

I found out my car comes with the £2750 option of the 'speedpack'. I certainly wouldn't have paid for it, but it's nice to have.

Leather jacket at your age FFS?  ::)

Just as well you didn't leave your medallion behind!  :P  ;D

Nothing wrong with a leather jacket at my age..... :P :P :P :P :P

On the other hand a 'mankini' would be soooooo wrong at any age. ;D

Maybe a sheepskin would be more appropriate?  :-\

I'll leave it to you whether you'd prefer a sheepskin jacket or sheepskin mankini!  :)

I think TB is the only one who could carry off a mankini on this forum, sheepskin or otherwise!  :y

Or maybe Mr Gonads?  :-\                                                                                                                                            ;D ;D ;D

He reset the fuel computer whilst 300 yards from your hour in neutral, coasting down hill ?
