My 3.0 has been absolutely fine, as long as it's being used for long runs there should be no issues with it, just take it easy and let it get up to temp before using a decent amount of throttle, high loads when cold has killed a few.
Colour looks nicer than I thought it would.

Re: Dangerous beers...
I spent the night in Los Angeles Ale Works in Culver City last night. 17 lines of their own beer on, was all mainly 6% plus stuff which made this morning fun. Off to a place called 33 Taps this evening, looks pretty good, lots of good West Coast IPAs, a place nearby called Father's Office too which ...

Saw quite a bit of the eclipse here in Santa Monica, not full but interesting still.

Re: Baltimore Bridge Collision
It looked almost instantaneous as it hit, suggestions the ship lost power which is why it drifted into the bridge.
Scary how fast that happened.

Unbelievable how it just falls down
Bit odd how it manages to hit the bridge right at the support.

Had some taken out of my roof and doors on the Jag by DWV, can't tell there was ever a mark!

Re: Your fleet running reports
So I was warned (via t'internet) to watch out for any electrical gremlins appearing after the security update had been done. I didn't note there there was anything but yesterday I realised the global close function seems to have stopped (i.e. close all windows by holding the lock button on the key)...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I've tried finding some but it looks like no one has ever done it before, I don't think people really play around much with Jags, The offset on the XJ wheels should make them looked pretty flush without catching the arches if my calculations are correct, I might need to drop them from the 275/35 to ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
10l of ZF LifeGuard8 purchased, new gearbox sump (has the filter in) and normal annual service booked for the Jaaaaag. As it's now staying it needs to be in good shape for the foreseeable, might need yet another two tyres on the back as well but I'll check it when it's up in the air, it's certainly ...

After much searching and head scratching about new cars, it's now being decided we're moving, so the Jag is staying.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Haha I bet.

We saw a yacht available to charter for $2m a week, excluding expenses, fuel and staff! And it was...

Crappy picture as trying not to look too obvious given I'm on a business trip, but Miami is certainly good for car spotting! https://i.imgur.com/y37amtQ.jpeg Both for supercars and also seemingly th highest number of G-wagens anywhere on earth, sometimes in matching pairs... https://i.imgur.com/Wsv...
Re: EV Thread
Honda E's have started to come down to 15k and less now if you can live with the range.
They're fun to drive but the digital mirrors are a bit crap IMO.

Re: EV Thread
I'm in Fort Lauderdale at the minute and I saw a very familiar looking car, that I haven't sent for years, and it's an electric version!
Mini Moke!
It looks like the old ones, possibly a bit bigger, sounded weird when it took off, I've put a pic on twitter as I still can't post pictures here

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah I'm surprised how much they've held their values. I think the spoiler is factory, he's had it from almost new and isn't a car modifier in any way, it's a GT I believe which has a bit of a factory aero kit on it. I'll admit I'm tempted to have a bid on it and sod the Hybrid, we have one sensible...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Cheers Dan, looking at market it seemed ok to me, no hardtop and partial service history, I said to try and wait until summer if they can as id imagine it will sell easier then.
Had no idea these were in the 700 quid tax band either!

Re: EV Thread
The early I3's seem to have issues with battery degradation but the bigger battery ones seem to be ok. It's not a massive job replacing a cell or two if they fail (if the battery pack is made in the same way as a Leaf or Prius), once the pack is out you can access each individual cell to test and th...
