Charlie,

I make it a rule never to enter a shop with a woman, why have you got to go, and has she not heard of the internet ?

And what is all this " Sonic Monday " nonsense ? trust you Scots to fall for it.

Just googled it, it is another Americanism

ATB,

Trevor

Charlie,

We have straw for our mattresses .

Give me shout if you stop at my friend's place in St Austell, i'll make sure you're well looked after .

ATB,

Trevor

Cheri,

Status Quo  are there, so as a music lover I won't be .

What do you mean by to get a "number" ?

But here is the website:

David,

Charlie will be racing down to the West Country later in the year, caravan and salad free .

If I can find a translator I will go and meet him in St Austell .

Charlie,

The fresh air would do her in !, but she would see grass and trees for the first time .

ATB,

Trevor

Cheridan,

Goes without saying about cyclists and Emmets (or grockles as we call them ).

Why can't they all go to Skegness  ?

ATB,

Trevor

Peter,

Most people who live in the West Country hate caravans, as they block up our roads, and they are very difficult to overtake (along with the tractors )

But the locals are well trained !

ATB,

Trevor

Cheridan,

Welcome, hope you enjoy the forum , if you have any questions just ask, there is usually someone who know the answer, and feel free to join in with any banter .

That makes two of us in the West Country with a Jag now !

An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scot were sitting in a bar. The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, the food exceptional.



"Y'ken," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back hame. Why, in Glasgow there's a wee bar called McTavish's. Now, the landlord there
goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks,he will buy the 5th drink for you."



"Well," said the Englishman, "at my local, The Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first two."



"Ahhh, that's nuttin," said the Irishman. "Back home in Dublin there's O'Driscoll's Bar. Now, the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house."



"Wow," said the Englishman, "did this actually happen to you?"



"Not me, myself, personally, no," said the Irishman "but it happened to me sister!"                

An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Jap, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Greek, a Russian, an Estonian, a German, an Italian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Czech, and a Swiss man walk into a pub.



The landlord says, "I can't let you in without a Thai."                

Andy,

You can never be too far from Croydon, I make the daughter and family come to Guildford to meet us .

A man was sitting at a bar when he noticed a pirate walk in the front door. The pirate had a peg leg, a hook for one hand, and a patch over
one eye.

Feeling sorry for the pirate, the man said, "Come over here friend. You look like you've had a hard life and I'd like to buy you a drink." The
pirate came over and ordered rum.

"Just out of curiosity," the man said, "how did you lose your leg?"

"Arrrgh!" said the pirate, "I lost that timber to a tiger shark in the Caribbean when I was thrown overboard for stealing a man's rum."

"That's just terrible. How did you lose your hand?" the man said.

"Arrrgh!" said the pirate, "I lost that fighting cannibals off Madagascar under Admiral Hawk."

"Oh my!" the man said, "I can't even imagine! How did you lose your eye?"

"Arrrgh! A seagull pooped in it!" said the pirate.

"A seagull!" the man exclaimed. "Is seagull !Removed! dangerous?!" he asked.

"Nay, matey, it was me first day with the hook..."

Andy,

Welcome to the club, they are a friendly bunch on here, if you need any help just ask.

Which part of London do you live in? I come up to civilisation to see my daughter who lives in Croydon on a regular basis .

ATB,

Trevor

Steve,

She doesn't particularly like them, she just likes buying them .

Soon as we get one, she wants something different .

She loved the XJ Supersport which we got after the garage mangled my Aston for about ten minutes, then decided she wanted something else, she chose the XKR , but now wants something else .

The XJ Supersport.

The XKR I have now .

But I think I'll trade the wife in for this model when I see her tomorrow .

Gareth Gates had to cancel his planned comeback concert in Chester tonight.



He got in a taxi to go to the gig but unfortunately he ended up in Chichester.                

Steve,

It looks a cracking motor. I won't show the wife as she says the last Jag that looked like a Jag was the "S" type, that's why she pestered me to get rid of the XJ Supersport .

I do tend to agree to a certain extent, I don't like the look of the New XJ, XF, or even the XE very much , although I do like the look of my XKR.

ATB,

Trevor

Steve,

How about some pics please ? the car sounds stunning !

ATB,

Trevor

Peter,

I think Exmoor is the best place to be .

And up behind my house

ATB,

Just a normal day here, hope to see some music, it will be a telly free zone, will probably take the wife to fill 'er face Christmas Eve as it's 'er birthday if she's well enough, which is unlikely .

Gary,

If both mirror buttons are on the driver's side, press both at once, this should reset the mirrors .

Also found this

" Set the mirrors and seat where you want them and then press the memory key 1,2, or 3 on the armrest until it beeps.

I had this problem also and instead of using set button 1, I used set button 2.

When I used button 1 it would revert to the bad positions so don't use 1."

ATB,

Trevor

Tom,

I would imagine they might be auto or paddle shift .

But I agree, I think in the future all years will be automatic.

Didn't think I would like auto, but now I wouldn't have it any other way, although I do use the paddle shift for fun sometimes

ATB,

Trevor

Tom,

Any mention of a 5 litre "R" version?

ATB,

Trevor

Steve,

I find that very surprising, stay with Adrian Flux then .

I was with these for ten years and found them not too bad, but they wouldn't insure my Aston martin (said it was too up market) after being with them for ten years.

http://www.morethan.com/

Never used them myself, but have you ever tried one of these comparison sites ?

http://www.gocompare.com/ps.aspx?Media=GG003&device=c&gclid=CO3mzcy6ksICFRMatAodtyQAxg

I find the difference in quotes quite staggering !

ATB,

Trevor

Steve,

I'm 65, all the rest seems very similar to you .

Don't get me wrong, I don't like any insurance companies, they all prey on people's fear.

I despise all of them .

Try the Endsleigh link above, also someone mentioned swift cover .

My father in law used to have his own insurance brokers business in London, I know how they operate.

It was him who put me on to their scam about their renewal quotes, and their latest one, setting up a standing order to renew automatically every year.

It is surprising how many people fall for it .

Have a good look round, I can assure you that you will find cheaper than advertised on here .

ATB,

Trevor
