Wot motor yer driving?

[Halo Jones]

I wanted to get a TT to throw around corners but life had other ideas so it’s a VW Tiguan – good clearance for driving on site & I can get a wheel chair in the boot.

And before you ask, about having only 1 car: AYCOTBAC? the answer is no

Probs, was 19' 7" - I measured it, three inches longer than the Sedan de Villes etc, not pillarless, all in the front doors and B pillar...

GXI 3738, was gonna change my name so I could have a private plate, Giles Xavier Irving...

The follies of men's youth....

I used to have a Lincoln Continental MKIV 2 door pillar-less coupe which was red with a white vinyl roof and blue leather interior, and original 8 track cassette player. That was also a beast, 7.5l engine with 212bhp (earlier ones had 365bhp) and was also 19 foot long which made for hair raising times when driving along little country lanes...

Those of you who bought newish Jags - do you not think the build quality is not as good as Germans?
I test drove a Jag XF and Merc E-class on the same day and the Jag seemed flimsy compared to the Merc.
Finish was a cut below.

Seems everyone buys old sheds. Can't stand cars from the 70's and 80's, horrible nasty things.

I had a 1988 Mercedes 300SL (forgot to include it in my original list). That was a very nice car and beautifully built.

Totally agree, unless you keep them in mint condition.

Get used to it. Post-Brexit it's Austin Maxis all round.

That'd be impressive considering there's probably only 20 left. Car share anyone?
