Drove it to Guildford and back, now got a sore throat from calling many other drivers some unique names. Mostly Merc drivers, obviously, but the odd JLR and the obligatory Pug and Honda idiots.

Saw a 13 plate XJ on the road and thought of you...

It was travelling slowly and was clean so quickly dismissed as not being yours >:D
