Ring em this morning to say when you will come in and and they will arrange things so that you don't have to wait.

OK, will do.

Just off to Jaguar for the day - got an invite to their performance driving day. Get to drive the new XF SV8 monster so looking forward to this!

The rears only scraped through the MOT with an advisory notice.

I've done 500 miles since then and a 300 trip this week to do. A set of 4 FK452s are £100 cheaper than a pair of PS2 RFT rears, and I won't risk having the rims damaged with RFT fitment (as has happened every single time with me). Also, 4 new tyres is a good selling point.

IMO its just not realistic to maintain £850-a-set tyres on a car worth 13K. In a few years the tyres will be worth more than the car! ;-)

Time to go non RFT!

I know what you mean. I doubled the value of my truck last week when I filled up the tank.
