I'm sorely tempted to bring the barge along to a hoon to see how it handles. Put me down as a maybe. Cheers

I would normally be up for it but I found a damaged toe link joint rubber before I went away last time. I don't want to tempt fate when I need to drive to Aberdeen the day after.

0630 is a bit late anyway in the summer. Would prefer to be moving by 6 and finished by 9.
^^^ This. Like the good old days eh Andy smile

XJ-R? I've had five or six XJs over the years, the last one being many years ago, an XJ-40. The XJ-R remains an itch that needs to be scratched, so I'll be interested in seeing how it goes smile

Yup, X308 XJR. Its away being serviced and checked over at the moment. First rwd car for me so the past few weeks of driving have been interesting. Surprisingly quick for its size, I'll bring it along and you can take it for a spin if you want.

I remember when it were all fields around here and the tyres were cooling before the early church bells on a Sunday morn.... Ahh, the youth of today hehe

If I can get some toe-links and the geo doesn't feel too bad I'll pop out for a bimble.

Giblet, I've decided to retire the Porsche from daily duties and rally prep it. This means I need a new daily smoker so I'm looking at an X308 XJR. Would be really interested to have a poke around it if you do make it thumbup
