Still after an F Type

I have seen a nice BRG P450 online which i'm hoping to go and see today
Wondering if Simple R could do the usual magic for me? HX20YOE..
In other non Jaguar related news.. does anyone want to buy an AMG GTS?
I had been contemplating my next car after the Ftype and the AMG was on the radar, i do like the look of them but i hear they have a overy stiff ride ect and not good steering feel. and have plenty of rattles, what do you think?
Mines been in Sport + since collection which triggers the hardest suspension setting - not a rattle in mine and I've got a deep seated hatred of anything creaking and rattling so it would be on the radar straight away. Steering is light, i find it comfortable the main downside is traction, I've lost the back end on a dry straight road accelerating in gear.

Used to watch Petrol Ped, not so more now. There are only a few car channels I will watch on YT. Jayemm is one of them. A complete car nutcase, good content and I think he is respected too. Some of his content and how he describes cars is top notch.
Some YT'ers you can just tell they want subs & likes which pervades more than the content & quality of their videos. Collecting Cars Podcast on Friday mornings with Chris Harris is a must! or at least sub to them you will not be disappointed. I have no affiliation with them at all, except being a a member of Scramblers.
Car Lot 76 (Simon) he does car shows and his knowledge base is excellent and he interviews owners every now & then. Harry Metcalf is just a gent, with some pedigree in the motoring world (EVO Mag ).

I literally walked into him outside Wembley stadium before last years Coldplay concert. I’d had a couple of pints & just shouted ‘Petrol Ped’! He did remember me though

Have begun listening to motoring podcasts. Favourites, so far, are AutoAlex, Intercooler & Smith & Sniff. AutoAlex is surprisingly entertaining. STG is annoying. PP is ok but do agree his main aim is growing & monetisation. Suppose they all are to an extent.

Yes I have watched Iain Tyrell's channel, I think he started at the instigation of Harry Metcalf. He knows his stuff without question. I have to be in the right mood to watch Tyrell though, it's me but there is just summin I don't appease to, with him.
Not heard of Sarah 'n' Tuned, will look thank you.

Harry's Garage is engaging which is the best part of it. He's not pretentious, gives an honest review and has an obvious passion for these things whereas some other YouTubers pay lip-service to the manufacturers in case they lose followers. I watch Mr GB as he owns an F-Type (and currently an F-Pace) and has done various little mods to it, nothing to get too excited about though

Couldn't agree more about Harry Metcalfe. Brilliant content and doesn't seem to need to pay any lip service. A good example is his review of the latest leccy 5 series.
He and Jayemm are the only guys I bother watching even if they're reviewing uninteresting cars. Sam from Seen Through Glass used to be really good but I lost all interest there when he stopped making Jag content... Porsche content just leaves me cold.
No 27 can also be quite good. It's always a bit nice to see his and Harry's videos because it brings back fond memories of when I spent a fair amount of time on their test roads when I took my F-Type up to a Jaguar Breakfast Club meet the other year.
