MorrisItalSLX Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I get the same with the Jag: "Is it the V8 or the V12?" "It's the straight six." "Really, I didn't know they did a straight six?" "Well I didn't know they did a V8 M8." "No, mate, it's the flat 4 boxer diesel. The most popular engine in the range you know." chaseracer and 320touring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 In other news, this has spent the evening assisting in a buying trip for a mate. Turned out the seller's dad had GSA/CXs when he was growing up , so he spent plenty time fawning over it whilst the car he was selling was poked and prodded:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 This decided to stop the drivers windows winding back up tonight.. Luckily it's out on courtesy car duties with my Bro, and he is one of those people with patience for fiddly mechanical repairs. All back together and working now..

Stinkwheel Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Drove the Oxford over at 60mph, came home pegged at 130km/h #racecar Am I reading this right? The GSA was pegged at 130km/h? Ami understanding it right? (see what I did there) Pegged means flat out? If it does, your GSA has something wrong, all 1299cc GSA's i've driven are faster than that.

320touring Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Latest on this is that it had a puncture yesterday evening - I have had pictures in.. I suspect all tyres on the car are older than this century, and have had many long summers down in the south of France before the car was imported in 2015. The car is shorn with 145R15 - Michelin XZXs Having had a scout on teh web, it looks that the available XZXs are over a ton each, and were manufactured in 2013 Looks like Nankangs it is then... cobblers, Lacquer Peel, RobT and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I think these are new tyres. https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/145sr15-michelin-xzx.html If you can stomach it... Edit: Not sure what's going on with the price on set of 4?! Works out as 75 quid a tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Also £120 a pop is cheap when compared to the price of TRXs. 320touring and Tadhg Tiogar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, 4x XZX at £120 a pop would be 80% of the purchase price of the GSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
