Re: Your fleet running reports

Just passed 10k in the Kuga, averaged 81.7 MPG overall since I've had it, no creaks, rattles or issues, it's been a superb car, I'd certainly recommend one as a family car. Massive boot, loads of space in the car, great seats, stereo, and it even manages to be quite fun to drive. If I ordered again ...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers

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 :shock:

Bit odd how it manages to hit the bridge right at the support.

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 ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

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

Yay and also :roll:

Haha I bet.

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.

I think this is my second choice for our new car now, after a C350e, as I can't drive that fucking horrible 2 Series.

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 :lol:
