What have you done to your F Type today?

[Madpig56]

Funny you should say that as I contemplated doing the same thing a few days ago when I was at the gym.

It was bright and sunny (or so it looked from the inside anyway) but when I went outside it was cold and windy.

Nearly did it but decided against it in the end although seeing yours maybe I should have risked it!

I used the final of my Christmas presents today.

Previously I've used the others (metal foot rest plate, jag leaper puddle lights, and all the cleaning gear I got including speed wax).

So today was a clean then drive to Thruxton in my lovely shiny car:



Followed by my final xmas present which was a drive in an F Type SVR round Thruxton - I fancied doing a track day but wanted to use someone else's car in case it went wrong :?



Great weather and a lovely drive there and back meant an overall fab day.

A bit boring but the annual pilgrimage to Tom Lenthall yesterday for the yearly service.Excellent service as usual from Adam and the team.

Also had the annual service trip. Tried the JLR dealer Listers of Droitwich for the first time. It’s a pleasure to say these days that the customer service was great while I waited approx 2 hrs for the work to be done

Another pleasure was to see these 4 standing out proud amongst what seemed like 400 LR’s!

Passed MOT Friday, followed by a good wash yesterday, getting non-stop thumbs up and compliments:

Done the speaker upgrade with some added dodo mat, much better, recommend

Sadly, today I had to go and get a quote to fix damage caused by some woman (seen by another shopper) who struck my car and just drove off in Tesco car park. Go on, guess how much…

 

[Kev]

£2400

 

[CSGMART]

£5,000?

 

[gasgas]

my local guy charges £250 a corner and really is a great body lad, purfect match every time

 

[Pilot Pete]

£2400

Holy shit, where do you get your bodywork done? Main dealer?

 

[Pilot Pete]

£5,000?

I thought £2400 was on the high side!!! :lol:

 

[Pilot Pete]

The broken grille surround is £682. Yes, I kid you not, for a plastic oval.

Body shop recommended by my Jag Indy specialist will need to prep and respray 3/4 of the front bumper to fade it in. £280+VAT. I think that is a very reasonable price. I’ve seen his work and the quality is excellent. Fingers crossed mine will be too!

So all in about a grand. Not worth claiming on the insurance after paying the excess, considering how my premium will go up. Happy bloody birthday weekend for me… :roll:

Completed my Sports steering wheel project - bought a flat bottom wheel off eBay and had it retriimmed at Royal’s who always do a fantastic job. Really pleased with the end result.

 

[CSGMART]

Looks great.

Love the wheel, is it easy to remove/replace?

In other news, spent several thousand pounds getting a few things sorted on the V8, supercharger nose/water pump/belts/pulleys .... in case you wondered a supercharged V8 is quite a bit quicker with the supercharger connected
