And it has arrived at my house with no scary incidents, other than me finding the kickdown switch while on eco pro, and laughing like a twat :D

In my world, it's customary to stop for a McDonalds on the way home and take a photo.

It's actually a rule that you have McDonalds whenever you buy a car.

You’ve got pretty high hopes if you want beany to take a picture of his car in the night.
How about not having a sig at all?

My pal and me stopped for some chips after I had the colour drain out of me transferring such a large amount of money (by my standards, pocket change to both our SJs ;) that, and I'm scottish...) but it was in a tight backstreet so no opportunity so far.

Traditional shitty photo coming up.

Yes that is a weird combo. I quite liked eco pro mode for town work, it's a very relaxing way to shuffle along.

It's bloody nice for it. I mean, it's not a Jag XJ, but the smooth gearchanges, low revs and gentle acceleration (unless you stab it) are a good mix for just pootling aboot town.

I always used to stop at the Old Leather Bottle at Earlsfield when I bought a car. Which was only four cars during the time I lived in SW London but it still felt like a tradition.

Estoril Blue, if the included touch up pen is to be believed. And a bit of northern road grime, now
