Thanks, I'm going out in it later this afternoon & doing the school-run in it.
We bought from a main-dealer, so have a years warranty on it
I just want to put my oiliest jeans & rigger boots on though to go :roll:

I took it to work on Wednesday afternoon.
I'd been mentioning its impending arrival for a few days; as you do! :lol: :lol:
I think it got a good reception; to my face at least.
What was said behind my back may differ :-k
On the way home from my parents house last night I had the first chance to 'boot it' (from a t-junction)
There was a long line of traffic, with a short gap - which was just Jaguar sized! ;)
By golly!!!, it does pick up rather rapidly, if only to 40MPH :shock:
I took this 'Grab-Shot' just prior to putting it away last night.
It bears the wifes initials
Bush Tucker Man:
I think I might take it up to the Leafers At t'Pit meeting/show tomorrow afternoon :-k

I did, but despite it being a close cousin (being 'born' in the same year too), they wouldn't let me show it :D

The supercharger whine as you run over 6000rpm is divine (even if mine is in a heavier vehicle!) ...... get those windows down!!! My business partner had a convertible XKR before he sold it for the Ferrari...

Neil!
That's because I've only driven it for about 3miles this morning, so still have very much got to get used to it.

Driven it about 30-40 miles this week, it's a bit of a mixture.
One minute a refined 'Grand Tourer' that you just want to 'waft about' in, the next (in Sport-Mode) accelerating out of junctions into gaps with venom!
