Just noticed my Neigbours XF had a different reg plate....
Apparently he's bought a new one exactly the same colour and equivalent spec as the old one...

Now that's what I call a vote of confidence. Apparently its doing 1500 rpm at 70 with the new 8 speed box....

Love it.

Also had a ride in an Aston last night....wife's cousins husband has a V8 ragtop. The smell of the leather could be sold as aftershave.....
and the noise is awesome....as Alun knows....
