A monosyllabic STMO is preferable to the gobby scouser we usually get. :)

Clearly more money than sense, but we all know that seeing as he spends £50/m on tax for a posh Vectra.

Hopefully he has got shot of that, I rather liked the supercharged Jaag

New car has a sunroof  (not something I wanted but this one is quiet) and cost the original owner £1000. The rest of the car drives as tautly as when new.

8500 miles.....2015 (15) :)

I was offered almost exactly what I paid for the Jag some 13 months ago as a P/X. So I thought why not. :)

As for the mighty Signum.....time will soon bring these magnificent  motor cars the status they deserve. :)

So basically you've admitted that at your age the Jag is a bit too much for you to handle and you've traded it in for something nice for Mrs Opti!  :)

I sure that the mighty Signum will see you through.  :y

After looking at pictures of Ianu's new Maserati my new car is mundane and humble by comparison, although similar in some respects.

About as much use as a chocolate fireguard, to long for a 13.5 trailer.  Stgo use maybe,, fitted with a 16L straight 6, same as the fh16- 750.  Doppy spanks don't like them, because there to refind, comfortable, economical, etc etc,   


V8 really, don't see Dr gollom as a "tang"
