Daily Drive is changing - can you guess ?

[sorepaws]

Well I am about to change my daily drive, the "new" car according to friends and those that love me now indicate that I have reached Grand Parent status and retired - can you guess what it is?

(shouldnt be too hard !)

[havoc]

Rover 75?

(plus some extra text as the message was too short!)

[jpspringall]

I'm going to plump for the Honda Jazz?

[sorepaws]

it's not a Honda

[TheSebringOne]

Was going to say CRV, but since its not a Honda, then another compact Japanese 4x4?

[sorepaws]

not Japanese and not 4x4 :D

(is now noting down what people are considering for their own retirement - !!!)

[AR]

Jag perhaps?

[WhyOne?]

Jag perhaps?

Ary beat me too it, must be a Jaaaaagwaaar!

[Chris B N]

family suggests C Max, or similar GM or Citroen

[Tokyo-Joe]

F360? F360 spider?

[sorepaws]

AR wins with Whyone (Ian) in close second - yes I have reached the age (it appears) where a Jag is in order - a shiny pre-registered XF Oil burner - the Civic Type R goes in PEx.

I have mixed feelings in parting with the Type R - yes it is tremendous fun and at times i can acheive <16 MPG around town, but on the negative side I have had 4 sets of rear shockers, the rear brake pads and discs were replaced at 22k miles, the fronts at 28k. It shakes you to peices over rough pot holed roads (the NSX is sooo much better !). So after 4 1/2 years its time to say goodbye to the Type R and retire to my Jag. What will I do with only 245BHP ! *grin

If you are still thinking about attending the SSC and have not bought tickets, Club tickets are on Sales until end of May you will need to order them to get your place on the stand

[WhyOne?]

Are the flat cap & slippers standard or Jag. options? ;)

[havoc]

Bit harsh - I wouldn't say the XF is retirement material - autobox aside, it's a genuine contender in that market...and it looks so much better than the old S-Type, esp. the new facelift.

Flat cap and slippers - can't be, Mike's had 'em for years! ;)

[nobby]

+1

xf is a lovely car to look at ... enjoy

should be a fair bit different to the CTR ;)

[Senninha]

...... What will I do with only 245BHP ! *grin......

Get it chipped :D

[TheSebringOne]

I don't think the XF is classed as a old person's car? How old are you ! :D

[sorepaws]

I don't think the XF is classed as a old person's car? How old are you ! :D
nearly as old as WhyOne :-D

[gumball]

Shame they don't make the Rover 75 anymore but that is an adequate alternative.
