Finally picked up the XFR yesterday, first 25 miles home I took my time, B roads only so 45-60mph mostly behind traffic saw 33.6MPG, the last 25 miles I let rip several times with a total average of 27MPG, more than happy with that out of a 5 litre. Full paintwork detail today results below, so far plenty of smiles the performance is pretty insane.

It’s funny that the 5.0 gets better fuel economy than the 3.0... only thing they got right with the 3.0 is the noise

Jonnycoupe · 18 May 2018 at 21:43

5.0 is so much longer geared. Massively helps.

Coincidentally saw a pre facelift XFR in black today aswell. X250 was a far more muscular looking car.

-2011 or 2011 to 2015?

Jonnycoupe · 18 May 2018 at 23:52

? 2010 plate prefacelift. Anything earlier would have been SV8 4.2

Had some fun around Donnington tonight with Kindai and Mac in the Mustang, M3 handles amazing, though its got a couple of issues which gone into more detail in my thread, hopefully simple fixes.

That colour suits it, did it come like that out from factory?

Took the wife's MX5 out for a blast to see if she has her new Green Stuff brakes bedded in properly, which she doesn't/didn't! I noticed it has now clocked up the 90,000 miles mark from when we bought it new and it's been and continues to be a great little car. It probably needs a new set up, maybe some new shockers but it's still a great fun little car. I think I got to my 4th hard braking before I was in brake fade land so took some time to drive it and put some heat cycles through the pads and now they are better, but still need some more work to be at their optimum.

Also, look at the tree sap on the windscreen

I hate sap, worst thing to clean off a car, I'd take British salty winter roads any day.

Looks like you could do with a steering wheel from Royal Steering Wheels!
