    Bye bye to the F-type

    So I sold my F-type on Friday and for the first time in living memory it wasn't to move into another performance car. So I guess this is a parting review of 3 years with the Jag. Why did I sell? I wasn't using it that much, and the arrival of an ST-Line 140 Fiesta as my everyday car meant...

    F type IS photogenic

    I'm biased but I think it's one of the most photogenic cars there is. A lot depends on the skill of the photographer and Suzy clearly has some skill

    I had the opportunity to have my car photographed by local photographer Emma Horsfield yesterday on a beautiful boiling hot summer's evening. I've never seen the car look so good and the drive back was a blast - many thanks Emma! Here are some of her shots: (all images copyright Emma...

    F-type reactions

    In the three weeks I've had my F-type I've had more positive attention than 3 years in a 911. People seemed to genuinely despise Porsches round here but it's all change and I've never been let out at junctions so quick! The other day I caught someone winding down their window to listen to the...

    My Silver AWD R beast

    I took the opportunity for a quick blast into the Peaks early doors hoping for a nice view, but the fog was so thick I bailed out. Anyhow so the photos are not quite what I had intended but never mind!<div>I'm going to get the gloss black grill surround done when it's in stock with the dealer -...

    One more sleep...handover tips?

    Porsche defector says hi!

    Hi,<div>I'm joining here to try and learn as much as I can before I get my F-type. I've got a 911 C4S and after many happy years I'm looking for something a little more....brutal. I test drove a 3.0 V6S and loved it; and am on the lookout for a V8 convertible. Fingers crossed I'll be joining...
