Re: Cars you never wanted but ended up with and quite liked.
Renault 9TL. Brother took it in part exchange for his XR4x4 when he bought a V12 XJS. Renault was a lovely comfy economical car.

Sierra, Royale and Range Rover update.
Sierra is used several times a day and is providing sterling service. Royale has a problem with over fuelling. Filling the sump with unburnt fuel and tremendous fuel fumes from exhaust.

The second one is my brothers XJS V12HE B20 XJS. He bought this in 97 I think. Cracking car-this is m...

Re: What did you do today?
Put a best offer in for my Range Rover on Boxing Day 2006 (I was totally sober) and found out the next morning the offer had been accepted. Picked it up 2 days later from near Southampton - over 100 miles away. Still got it and use it a couple of times a week. Used it most days when I was working. B...
