I have a nice toy to play with this weekend......

You have seen my small selection of various products

Are you free tomorrow then?

From lunchtime onwards - yes.

Will give you a shout tomorrow, I'm going to try and sort it in the morning, so could be a drive out to you in the afternoon, or failing that if the weather is shite in the morning then come out to you and use you garage :lol:

Ok, sounds like a plan of some sort

Or an F-Type maybe...

Damn, wrong number of doors. XF R ?

We have a winner!

Oh that'll be enjoyable. I have the XF S (ok so only 350hp, but 700nm)

Watch the speed as they are incredibly deceptive when you gas it and very tail happy if you turn off any aids.

Note that they always pull away in 2nd so if you want to experience it then stop, pull the paddle to 1 engage sport and then get going

I drove it when it was new a few years ago so know who rapid and tail haapy it can be. THe 71 year old owner drives it as it's meant to be driven also.

Will post some pics later.

It's even better than the preface lift as it now has a better 8 speed cog box, instead if the 6

Only downside is manual changes are less fun now as just too many gears. Just stick it in sport

It put it in manual mode after leaving PVR's this afternoon but forgot about changing up when I went to overtake so hit the limiter. Something you would get used to of course, but I stuck it back in auto after that and used the paddles.

It is an awesome car, but very expessive to run, I might have to top it up before I take it back.

In drive it will change up if you leave it too long. In sport it holds the revs to the limiter. Gives you choice.
Similar if you paddle shift in D it will revert to D after a minute in case you forget.

Good to here it does this and I would like that because every auto/twin clutch I have owned or driven change up automatically whether you are in manual mode or not.
