If it wasn’t for the lack of an Aldi in the background, I’d have sworn that was Todmorden bus station from the town hall roof!!

Was about to say the same, a glamorous version of todmorden.

Came back on the afternoon ferry, about half an hours drive on the french side and 20 mins up from plymouth here.

The jag was relaxing transport and i love the little v8 its got. Sounds lovely when you work it.

If you ever decide it needs a new home, give me some warning so I can make up excuses not to add another pornographer spec car to my liability ridden fleet of nonsense cars.

 

Thanks.

DOY news

It started after being left 6 days. Doesnt sound much to get excited about but i was concerned it had a parasitic battery drain as there were clues the battery had been disconnected/ reconnected regularly (loose cover, clock at wrong time etc) Typical signs of a ropey old banger. Cashback.

Also; the ride is so much better on the fat 90s rubber it was intended to have, as some of you rightly predicted.

It also looks a bit less like a beached whale. Only a bit though!

Farewell, it follows in the tradition of haunted P4 ownership. I still feel theres unfinished business with these, or a p5, which ive come close to buying about 4 times over the last 20 years.

DOY news

First decent length trip in DOY as i had to go to a hotel in plymouth this afternoon. 

Quite nasty traffic with lot of idling. Pleased to report it didnt overheat. The temp did climb to 100 several times but not over, and each time the cooling fan came on and did its thing. 100 sounds alarming but MB say this is normal, it used to bother me when i had a w124 230e, untill i got used to it.

Anyway back in tavistock, rear electric roller blind up, looking like an Albanian Mafia sentinel…..
