Dropped the F Type in on Monday for it's first service and was given an XE R Sport as a courtesy car. A big car with a two litr engine, thought it would be a bit slow and wallowing but I was very wrong! The 0-60 times on paper look a bit disappointing but I am sure it is a lot quicker, and the...

Saw a 16 reg grey F Type with light interier in Perth today (Perth Scotland that is) was walking into town and it pulled out of a turning in front of me, went up the road, turned right and disappeared with a nice burst of sound. Anyone on here?<br />Steve.

I you go on to www.autocar.co.uk you will see details of the new all electric I Pace, on sale in 2018. Looks interesting.<br />Steve.

Took a trip to Aviemore yesterday and drove up to the ski area. After looking around for a while we drove to the town of Aviemore just 3.3 miles away. When was got home I looked at the Jaguar remote app and saw that the journey took 7 minutes at an average of 30mph and we got 51.1mpg! It was...

Had the car four months now and done over 3.5K miles and extremely pleased with it. This isn't a real problem but I think it's a shame that the paintwork under the bonnet on a car like this is not lacquered and has been left matt. I am one of these people that when I clean a car I tend to do the...

Saw a nice white F Type travelling north about 11:15 this morning as we were travelling south on the A9 between Pitlochy and Dunkeld. Anyone on here?<br />Steve.

Just got back from a trip from Scotland to Cornwall, had the front of the car covered in self healing protective film and they did a very good job so no stone chips. All I can say is the car was perfection, fast, handled well and very comfortable. Did 1400 miles and not even a rattle, I think I...

As the title says, just to show that British design is second to none.<br><br>

Gave the car it's first clean with a wooly mit on Tuesday and dried it with an air blaster car dryer. Was in the garden today and accidentally spayed some water on it, so I wiped it off with a micro cloth and noticed the paint felt rough. In fact I could hear a scraping noise as I wiped it. The...

We have finally taken delivery, should had been on Thursday but the dealer discovered a nasty scratch on the windscreen so he lent us a V8 for a couple of days. The power was incredible, it was like being shot out of a catapult! It did however feel a bit on the heavy side for a sports car but I...

Hi, Had a test drive in a convertible last week, we both loved it. The sound on the up shift made us both giggle like kids.<img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /> <br><br>Plan to order in next couple of...
