Well I’ve done mega mileage since getting my Skoda Enyaq in January
At that rate you won’t crack 3k for year.
Maybe you should team up with someone off TNUK for a “Continental road trip”…who is always telling us about them now?

I’ll reload in September when insurance is due and lower my mileage down
Trying to blag my lad’s cool black and sleek Audi at the moment..
A motor that far befits my image and ego than our Mondeo and 7 seater S max we currentlly have 
Watch this space.

Because I’m an4l like that I always make a note in my phone regarding when I filled up the car, the amount I put in and the MPG attained.
I just checked my phone and MPG wise my silly Porsche was hovering around the 8 MPG figure! Whereas the Merc is averaging 32 MPG. I did notice though that the last time I put fuel in the Merc was on the 2nd of January

Nah this is more my style whilst driving.
I often look down to the middle lane and see some kid in a passenger seat watching me in amazement doing my best impression of Jagger or Jon Bon Jovi.

My eldest lad (gods gift to Volvo Truck and Bus) has just bought an S version of the Q5 Audi. I’ve been in it, it’s a lovely motor, but with just shy of 400bhp it’s b loody lethal.
I’ve always thought my twin turbo Jaguar could ‘nip on a bit’ but that SQ5 Audi is a bit too much for this old lad. 
^^^ I drove a mates RS6 a while back. Staggering! That’s the only word to describe it, insane comes a close second actually.
I’m convinced that the brakes could ripple tarmac and actually slow the earths rotation! That’s before I even talk about the nuclear power plant disguised as an engine!
Steady on lads the Audi I’m trying to get off my lad aint some kind of supercar, it is just an A5 tdi.
It’s a bit like me it still looks slick, cool and desirable (to some) … but its actual performance and abilities does not do justice to it’s appearance.
A bit like it’s prospective owner then?

Aforementioned eldest lad traded in an A6 to get the SQ5, I thought the A6 was a superb car AND (i’ll deny ever saying this 
) the A6 was better build quality than my S Type Jaguar.
Saying that, the Jaguar that I’ve had from new is 21 years old now, It’s a good motor and at my age…it’s a keeper.
I used to have an XJS in the 80s, it was either that or a 911 Porsche, but the wife gave me earache saying the 911 would be no good for our 2 young kids at the time, so we got the Jag.
I often regret not getting a 911 always liked them, can’t afford one now anyway.
The Jag I would like now would be the F.Type sports job, but other than a lottery win it won’t happen.

My Jaguar cost £33500.00 all those years ago, ‘We Buy Any Car’ says it’s worth £500 now. Aye, well, they can stick that up their flue, they couldn’t buy the seats for that sort of money, I’m keeping it.

Out of interest its probably already been said but what year did you buy the car
2004, V6 twin turbo diesel (no DPF thank god)
Cost me £240 yesterday to fix a coolant leak.
500 value and 240 to fix
It’s still better the devil you know,
That is arguable.
Because some one else would give you £500 does not equate with it’s value to you.
And those companies that offer prices over the phone are not going toa offer the best price anyway.
That is easier to agree with. 
The F type and 911 both have the admirable ability to arrive in a ditch going backwards fast probably the 911 first.
The F type at least would relieve the back ache caused by sitting on the floor after 50 miles to get out and leave it there.
