Gooday, I'm new here but have been active in the XE forum and the US based Jag forum over the years.

Current cars are the p300 XE R Dynamic which I love with a passion (my wife's car, i'm pretty fond of her as well), a 2019 Mustang v8 manual which is orange and stripey which should arrive in a week or so (my kind of sensible car) and a 2016 f Type v6S coupe in IRR, with VAP pulley and tune, 21 inch Vorsteiner wheels, and VAP quad exhaust. I've had the f Type from new, it is an absolutely fantastic car and I cant see myself letting it go.

Previous cars of note include a 2011 XKR, 2010 XF 5.0, 2008 XF 4.2 prem lux, and a volvo s60R manual (my last manual), also we had a 2016 XE 25T that went to get the 2020 p300.

I see some familiar names here, looking forward to learning some and contributing some, not particularly mechanically minded but at least I know my limitations...
 
Welcome Bruce. Have read lots of your posts on the US forum. Always informative & entertaining 👍

Great wheel choice 👌😄

BTQ - You can contribute if you promise to speak proper English...that is, we talk degrees C, Boot, bonnet, Windscreen, Tyres, spanner etc etc ;)
That said, a bit of Aussie banter is always welcomed!
Good to see you on 'this side 'o the pond'!
 
Thanks guys, yes I love the Vorsteiners. I think we use your UK language though I learned quite a bit of proper English from Vinnie Jones in Eurotrip.

I'm on the Gold Coast in Queensland. We are in the depths of winter at the moment, I think it might not have reached 20 celsius today!
 
Welcome to the F Type forum, I have found it really useful and sure you will too. Would love to see some pictures of your F but I guess as it’s so cold there it’s tucked up inside? :lol:

Here you go!
 
Very nice! I guess that’s a wrap on the A pillars? Wheels look great too.

We like to buy our fuel in litres but quote miles per gallon just to respect traditions!
 
Haha, yeah the lighter forged wheels make a huge difference to the handling, I reckon out of the mods I've done that has given the most enjoyment. The black a pillars flatten out the roofline and give the car a lower, meaner look. I really like the effect.

Speaking of mean looking, I saw a blue with black pack new shape f type in the wild on the weekend, it looked absolutely fantastic, I barely knew what it was until I got close. They look so much better on the road to when they are parked, the lights really set everything off. The same applies to the pre-facelift but I was gobsmacked at how good the facelifted one looked.
 
A dark blue MY21 with a black pack? Yeah, they do look rather good don't they*

Nice to see you over here by the way, seen you regularly posting on the forum for the other side of the pond.
 
Yeah it was like that one, I actually didnt know it was an F Type even from the back until I got close because the brake lights are so different when on. Just awesome!

Get some great info from the US forum, really good for the modding aspects.
