Driving home
Finally got round to taking a snap of Ben in the F-Type. He seems to have settled into the new wheels ok.
300 mile round trip with the top down. Managed to average 38mpg with mixed driving conditions. Quite pleased with that over all.

 As long as you don't lose the +4 in favour of the Jag, Peter. That would be a great shame. I can't imagine that would happen.

Followed a Coupe coming home the other afternoon. Have to say I do like the view... More room and boot space in an XK8 though...

Jaguars entire range is now worthy of series consideration. The oldest car the XJ remains a a great drive with the 3L D engine and fine balance. Sad not to see more of them.
Our UK sales lead has the 5L F convertible and loves it to bits. It must be the only car I know where the exhaust (with the optional loud button pressed on) is as loud as the Coupes quad sidepipes.
Love the dog.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

More room and boot space in an XK8 though... That wouldn't be difficult Graham. The boot in the soft top model is staggeringly poor when one considers the outer dimensions of the tail end. I can't imagine how they managed to design in so little volume....They must have worked very had at making it that poor  But have no fear...i'm making a boot rack for it....Morgan style!

I've seen two F Tyoes now with boot racks......both probably wannabe Morgan owners

Followed a Coupe coming home the other afternoon. Have to say I do like the view... More room and boot space in an XK8 though... There is more room behind the seats in our Plus 8 than in an F Type convertible boot! The Coupe boot is a joke, about half as much as a Porsche Caymen, but I have to agree it is a "looker". At one point we considered getting one but the depreciation made us walk away. Now a 3 year old used one could be interesting in a couple of years.
