What did I say....?

Nothing other than highlighting (again) that you've been out giving it the full Toad in a rather fine Jaguar and I haven't. It's nothing but pure unbridled jealousy on my part.
But I can live with it. It should serve as a reminder to me to work harder and PH less...

You get to enjoy some fine cars L100N

Ah! Sorry

If it helps, the Williams is leaning. I have no idea why other than maybe a knackered o/s/f spring. It's only 5mm lower on that corner than the nearside?!?

I am sure there is a diff/propshaft related reason for it, but it is one of the first things I can remember irking me about the design of a car.

They are a bit heavy but surprisingly agile for the size of car. Not as dynamically able as an E39 M5 but a large capacity V8 with 350bhp is never going to be dull. Look out for brakes, exhaust and rust.

L100N, it's a fine day to be out in an old XK, think of it as a back handed compliment if you will.

Saggy corner? it's probably not been given that much of a hard time prior to your ownership and now it's being given the daily rallye I suggest it's just highlighting the items that need a bit of a refresh.

I've said this before, but has anyone driven an E28 M5?
I had a 528i and it's not a very sporting seating arrangement. The 6er with the same engine is a great drive. I never thought that of the '28. I also never thought " this car would be great with 280 odd horse power" either.

Please someone correct me because they do look nice but I find it odd that they are worth more than the 6.

not M5 but the 535i

loved it

Also had a 528i for a bit yet I loved it, always wanted an M5 though...

I was thinking the same, hopefully just a tired spring {fingerscrossed}

The Semperits I had on the front of one of my Golf GTI's weren't too bad actually, not a Chinese Manufacturer but a subsiduary of Continental, they get most of Conti's old designs and compounds. Not quite up with a Michi, but certainly a step up from LingLongs.

This looks gorgeous in black. Thunderous...

OOoooffff....That is my perfect car. But it does upset me when cars that require decent money spending on them have cheep chinese tyres on...

Same here. Also owned a 528A. Lovely car, but as has been said, big comfy wallowy seats. 535 with hard backed recaros was a different experience altogether. Brilliant fun every trip.

Maybe that's the difference then, I had Recaros in the 528i
