Even dirty wet ones will do.....

[RingSpanner]

Try bumpix.
Plenty of dirty wet ones, there.

Here she is.

Great subject. Bad light.






Nice white van too.

A thing of beauty

[threadlock]

Lovely

Glad you're pleased with it. I've had mine for three years, 5 months and I never want to sell it. They're brilliant cars.

[wilwak]

Lovely car!

Such a shame they stopped making them.

A future classic for sure.

[The Bodyman]

Thanks all.

I'm trying to get use to driving it. The R is a lot different the my old XK. Both were the 5L but this R is quick. The back end is very twitchy on these damp roads.

Yeah, the traction control system seems to have a wicked sense of humour.

My 5.o litre XKR keeps trying to kill me ! I love it !

That looks great. I keep looking at earlier XKR's but the wife keeps saying no!

I have a 99 XKR and i have been threatening to sell it for three years but I cant bring myself to do it.
The wife loves it by the way.
I love the stance on the newer car and I havent seen many in white.

Change the wife

[Rockmonkey]

In her defence, it was her who encouraged me to buy the XF instead of a newer Mondeo and then encouraged me to get it remapped.
I'll talk her around to the XKR

Nice one!

BTW in the wet/rain or cold, stick the snow mode on the TC. Makes the car much more pleasant to drive without impeding on the fun too much!

Fuse 19 is your first job...

DON'T TELL HIM PIKE!


Leaves the exhaust baffle open.

its a subtle change, in a coupe its probably not warranted as you wont hear the benefit as much. I got tired of the nothing nothing wham wham wham then silent. It just makes the noise there from the start without any of that engineered bmw/lambo nonsense to it.

Don't be ashamed of snow mode, its on exclusively now and makes the driving experience much less 10p 50p 10p if you are having fun.
