Mrs V400TC wanted another SLK350
so we got this one recently
with the Volvo V40 daily runabout in the foreground and my S type R at the back.

We just had the garden entrances widened to ease access.
Road tax is a little stinging,
but we like them

Looks like a good range of cars. Any closer up pictures of the R? And what's it like to drive?

The jaguar is a real pleasure to drive,comfortable and quick handling is good with the CATS suspension.
Would benefit with an LSD and a twin scroll SC, those are on my wish list. It has covered 27k miles now
and is on its 3set of tyres, sinice I got the alignment sorted with the correct specs, I think the fronts will last far longer.
Wheels were refurbished in Jan after some kerb scuffing.

That R looks really nice from that angle. Colour and wheels suit it.

Only changed rear exhaust for Adamesh ones so far, lets the sound escape a lot more, still nice and quiet inside.
Replaced brake pads for EBC redstuff, these are far better and nowhere near the brake dust of standard pads.
Original pads nigh on worn out at 24k.
The EPB played up requiring a new module and park brake motor, other than that all has been good so far.
