Christmas suggestions?

[CPBLondon]

So as F Type owners you already have everything you want - so can you suggest a great gift at Christmas for an F Type owner?

Love some suggestions no matter how trivial or frivolous!!

Wishing you all festive cheer and hope to get some good ideas to suggest to family and friends

Happy Christmas!!!

I've got a few Jaguar notebooks: a Moleskine one from my Millbrook experience, an F-Type one I bought (yeah, no-one else buys me presents!) from Rimmer when they were having a clearout, and just today I got one that was made in Italy from apples from a US dealership (the notebook, not the apples)! It's called appeel - "Questo Prodotto e realizzato con i residui della lavorazione delle mele. Ecosostenibile, educativo, naturale e sano."

We recently had another thread on here about some new collectibles from JLR. They're selling some really nice F-Type design models.

Then there's the great F-Type book (called something like The Full Story IIRC) that's been discussed in some other threads.

Or perhaps a little Welly model. Seems like there's quite a few out there and I ordered myself a BRG one.

How about a belt with a leaper buckle? My indie sells them, maybe others do.

Here's a nice little thing. Being a LHD BRG coupé with black pack, black/pano roof and RWD bonnet vents it's close enough to my real car. And the BRG paint is pretty much spot on so never mind that it has the old lower front, wrong exhaust, wrong wheels and wrong interior colour.

It's not the model maker's fault that you bought the wrong car! :lol:

Apparently nobody told the model maker what the perfect model and spec of the F-Type is, but fair enough, they almost got it right anyway.

Must say I'm a bit positively surprised by this little model. Better made than I thought it would be and it's cool that the paint is spot on. Guess they got some colour codes from Jaguar.

That's a nice one! Would love to do that if I was in the UK. And for anyone living in my part of the continent a good option is a lap on the Nordschleife for 30€.

Depends what is a "comfortable speed" ..

Depends what is a "comfortable speed" ..

And an F-Type having to follow a BMW seems to go against the natural order of things ....

Its a bit like doing the Silverstone Drive Christmas lights in 2019, crawling round the track in a traffic jam didn't really cut it

 

[MajorTom]

Better come down to the ring then. You choose what speed you think is comfortable and although there's plenty of BMWs you don't need to stay behind them.

It felt so wrong doing 5mph around the track. Those poor santas stuck in the pods waving at folk too.

If you've got a new shape F, this is really good for a few quid. You can often find them by the tills in Halfords. Also in silver.

Yep, been 30€ for at least a couple of years. Worth it though. Just not this time of the year... this time of the year I prefer free ring laps in Gran Turismo Sport.
