Marin Man; As much as I like ours, yours has the definate edge when it comes to interior space (& a bigger boot) TDIfurby; I love that whine too, but would perfer it to sound a bit more 'uncouth', so the V8 can be heard (but then again, it is a Jaguar, so has to be refined...'old chap!'

Those are nice! 'YAS' (Yorkshire Ambulance Service) have several Octavia 'Scouts' as Rapid Response Cars. I see them everyday at the Hospital I work at. All of the Paramedics are generally happy with them :D (but they do get driven hard!!!!)

Go on................. how fast? (my 10K 'PB' = 43:56) But...... my 7miles were uphill for first 3, & incorporated woodland paths/open moorland :wink: This pic was taken at about 2 & 1/2 miles into the race (& we started at the same elevation as the houses behind the trees (I'm '42')...

Yes, but it's also a smaller gallon than the UK (ours is 8 Imperial pints @ 20 fluid ounce-per-pint/4.545. litres) Just been doing some checking up I filled up the C-Max a couple of days ago at £1.17/litre (ie; £5.31/gallon) This equals US $1.46 The cost of a UK gallon, in dollars =...

Jaguar XKR (4.0 litre Supercharged) Urban = 12-15MPG Average = 18MPG 'Long Steady Run' (not clogging it) = 25-28MPG Wife beating the 'chavs' & B*W's away from the lights = 2-3MPG!! Best part about it?, the overtaking ability. It's booked at 30-70 in 4.6 seconds :shock: , hence minimal...

He's a friend of mine, as is his brother (Robert) & parents (Phil & Nora) I ran a Fell-Race with them in February

That's very nice & brings back memories, as I bought the (then) girlfriend (& now wife) a 1989 'BV' (but it was a 15" frame, with the 'U-Brake' under the chainstays) It's still in existance, a friend swapped his 'Aluminium O' for it, & he uses it as a winter-bike/commuter with slicks &...

That's nice MyDyna-Tech is starting to suffer a bit from being a 'daily-rider' (well, I run to work one day, & ride the next -alternatively, no matter what the weather - even this years snow & ice)

The faded grey/flouro orange are 1989 models. I had one, supplied by 'Two Wheels Good' in Leeds. £569, is the figure that springs to mind as the price. I believe I bought it even before John Stevenson & Brant Richards seem to 'take over' the shop

That's a great roof-job:D I think it'd really suit my 110Td5 CSW :D :D
