I seem to have lost the warranty paperwork for the Shagwah mate, remind me of how I go about making a claim? Only it's only gone and failed its MOT, hasn't it? Two flexible brake hoses perished. Disgusting, I call it. That's going to take me at least ten minutes to sort out. I blame Bear. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets and Ducati Race Engineer.

At least it was caught on the MOT and not at 80mph when you put your foot on the brakes entering a 40. That wasn't pleasant.

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Bear Oops. It has to be said that there's a fairly slippery bit of road outside Milton Keynes rail station. I left there with a colleague on board last week, on a slightly damp day. Fortunately, he's a non-driver and he probably didn't know that that wasn't supposed to happen... -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets and Ducati Race Engineer.

Are dem XKR supercharged (convertible) jobbies good for owt? they seem to sport rather catastrophic depreciation oop north which (of course) makes it interesting. 'Hog
Good for cheapness. Though I like ragtops, the convertible doesn't have nice lines with the top up *or* down. So I prefer the fhc. But it just has a hint of "I wanted a DB7 but couldn't afford one".
I've driven one, and thought it a beautiful car. The one I drove had an auto box, which spoiled it for me, but let's not have that discussion again
Wicked Uncle Nigel says... And you didn't call in. Hmph! I'll just eat these Penguins all myself then What, car going totally sideways towards the bus lane?
'Hog scribbled: The insides of them (XKRs) are a bit old style looking, sort of 1970 XJ6 look, or as Lozzo puts it 'Ford parts bin'. I was gobsmacked to discover I could actually fit inside one with room to spare. Resisted the offer of a test drive, knew I wouldn't be able to resist buying it if I had.

'Hog says... The door handles on the XK range were designed so that a lady wouldn't break her nails when opening the door, or damage the door handle recess with her nails. Chickwheels.
Wicked Uncle Nigel scribbled: Ah, fairynuff. Wish I was. Only in thought. And knowledge of that little roundabout that seems to be coated in Teflon.

One day. Actually sod that. If I ever have that kind of money to spend on a car, I'd be getting a real Aston.
