Agree with that. I like to live like a cat and have a number of lives to cash in first!
Something went wrong, ordered a Mustang, yet ended up in a British hotrod, I blame OcUK!

yes exactly and a pushbike isn't safe either it's only great for exercise..........nothing sees you when you cycle, you have to keep on eye out for everything

I was riding bikes from age 16 until last year when I retired from it. The roads are just too damn dangerous for 2 wheels now. Too many people oblivious to everything driving along in their cocoons.
I have no empirical evidence for this but I feel that things got markedly worse when cars started having daytime running lights. Previously to this, bikes were the only things on the road during the day with lights on and so stood out from the rest of the traffic. These days they are just another light in a sea of lights.

i've just been for a massive bike ride..........the roads are quiet, the key is to cycle close to the kerb at all times, or in my case the vegetation and pony **** and keep your ears open for anything creeping up behind you.
but in the New Forest you're safe to cycle, it's in Lymington that you have to be careful, esp anywhere near the Yacht clubs !................ the old farts in their Hyundais dont drive anywhere near where i cycle, i get the Range Rovers and SUVs instead............the horsey brigade
i sometimes get Caterhams flying by in the summer, but they're too quick to even notice really.

It's like having a wasp fly past.
the best way to be overtaken is quickly because it's when they creep up behind you and wait that it gets annoying; it's like being stalked by a perv, it's so creepy
and when they do eventually crawl by they give you far too much room....they're right over in the other lane almost in the ditch...... it's pathetic 
Hi there
Well unfortunately the Ben the owner of Lawtomotive, also a member here has fallen ill so the paint correction, detail and polish I was booked in for he had to cancel, hope he gets better soon.
As such as the weather was relatively OK, not raining for once I decided to give the exterior a good cleaning myself, really focusing on protecting the carbon fibre parts and then a quick wax over the vehicle. Here are a few pictures I snapped:
I absolutely love how this colour looks so bright even in the shade, it is such a bright gorgeous colour. When the sun comes out their is a beautiful pearl in the paint that really pops, once the car is professionally paint corrected and nice weather comes back I shall get some proper photos done in the sun.
I just cannot stop looking at the car when I park it up it is such a beautiful thing, and that backside, it is absolute pure sex the rear end is especially with the quad tips and carbon diffuser and big naughty wing.

The light blue shine in that paint just makes you happy. Brilliant colour tbh.

Agreed man. I always wanted a supercharged Lime Green S2k but never was able to find one

Had yet another insane biker trying to race me today, weaving across lanes without signalling and generally being a nuisance. Had to slow down and let him get some space because he clearly wasn’t being at all cautious for his well being.
That does sound sexualI just cannot stop looking at the car when I park it up it is such a beautiful thing, and that backside, it is absolute pure sex the rear end is especially with the quad tips and carbon diffuser and big naughty wing.

Such a nice looking car, congrats !
Hi there
I apologise for still using mobile phone camera but whilst the weather is shocking no point trying to take decent photos but still snapped some of the interior which is a rather nice place to be:
Car has some lovely beading going on, it had plenty of wax at purchase, but adding the autoglym super resin and aqua wax only helps further:
Still not being able to properly push it yet as am still yet to drive the car in the dry, its constantly wet at the moment.

Cant wait to see it in person
Maybe my timing was good?

No more SC V8 for JLR soon then maybe......

Good old car throttle. Last time Callum said something like that it was about estates and not doing anymore and then 3 months later XF sportbrake mk2.
For a pretty good view of the V8 future they should be more aware of stories like this...

Good read so will be interesting to see what JLR do, am guessing they will start making their own engines or just find a new contract elsewhere and as to whether there will be a V8 SC is unclear, though with the introduction of the 2.0 turbo unit in the F Type that is maybe more the direction they are thinking.
Maybe they could put the V6 TT from Ford GT into an F-type, that would be missile quick and comfortable.
Spent the afternoon fixing panel gaps, seems JLR are not much better than Ford on that one, on the plus side Jaguar do make it easy to adjust, my OCD is now satisfied.
Very nice!
But what is that in the background? Are you now, like a certain former Deputy PM, "Two Jags" ?
