No car news from me but I just bought a VFR800 SteveH's bike of choice for a
long time. He was actually right about something. I like it. Still waiting
for it to burst into flames or rust like an Alfa.

Everyone is spending summer enjoying the mods they've done. Come dark
evenings, they'll be back in their garages

Yeah, everyone seems to have cars they like or are selling them. PeteM
does most of his car stuff as Facebook updates these days. You may
recognise a few of the names who comment on them.

Hmm, favourite for that would be a worn bush or a failed exhaust hanger
but you indicate that all of these have been changed for new. Odd that
he retrofitted cruise, I thought it was standard on the XJR. Every one
that I have had came with it as standard.

The rear diff and subframe was bomb proof, the only pain in that area
was on the previous XJ40 which had shock absorbers made out of fragile
expensivium. The X300 had the problem fixed and the X300 shocks were
good for about 100,000 miles.
