At the end of 2019 I finally managed to pass the 200,000 mile mark in J258. I use the car as a daily driver and have been trying to use it more on longer runs as my commute is really rather short. Longer runs are a little more palatable now that the fuel economy is …

It has been a long time since I've posted an update for this particular car, and even if you follow my social media channels you may not be familiar with it, as it has been in storage. At the time that this little MG arrived in my car time my intention was to modify it …
As I'm sure you can guess from the absence of a Christmas video in this post, we didn't quite manage to complete it. It was probably a bit much for me to expect the Curfew Jag to survive the attempt, especially considering it still needs a lot of work to make it a useable car. …

I recently wrote about my experience with the Vantage, and now it is time for its competitor of sorts, my old 911. This post could go on for a lot longer than the one about the Vantage, just because I've had it for longer and its a bit more of a story rather than just …
People who know me (or follow me on Twitter) probably know that I like an XJS more than most people do, and this is one of the cars that helped me to realise that. I've owned this particular XJS since September 2017, Â after buying it at auction. I spotted the car among the listings of …
I thought it was about time I wrote a little something about my experience of the Vantage, which was a car I had wanted to buy for a few years but had half given up on at this point. I've owned the Vantage for just over a year now after buying it on a bit …
Last week my pre-Christmas purchase finally arrived, though it was only held up due to the festivities and luckily the previous owner was as relaxed about it as I was. I'd been had forewarned by the owner that he hadn't been able to get it running a week before I was due to collect (and …
