Hallo all, been away for a while, but just popped in to say hi.

Luego gone, now on to its third owner I think, was offered the chance to buy it back but seeing as i spent all the money and am now the proud owner of a Jag XJR and a BMW 750il I had to turn the opportunity down :-)

Both cars cost a grand each, proper motoring for no money apart from the fuel :-0

Hope you are all good.

Cheers, Rich.

Ebay all day....

I have to admit the XJR needed a bit of work....diff, some welding bushes etc, the 750i though just keeps on going....needs a little bit of paint fettling here and there.....but for that money it's all good fun! :-)

Fuel consumption is a sticking point, but then i don't do that much mileage these days.....did visit S Wales last weekend, got 20.5 mpg average.....a bit salty, but a comfortable ride nevertheless :-)

It's my version of recycling :-)
