I really like the I-Pace, (as opposed to the E-Pace) and await the detail of the technical specification with interest.

However, having brought an F-Pace last year, which I am delighted with, it's a brilliant vehicle, unlike the three Jaguar dealers we visited, who are a bunch of clowns. We brought the vehicle in spite of the dealers, not because we were 'sold' the vehicle.

Luckily, both the Service and Sales Managers at JLR in the junction are highly professional and able to provide after market support and servicing to the level one would expect of JLR and if I hadn't got the faith in them to do so, it's doubtful if I would have brought the vehicle. 
Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may have been given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

I came across this converted Citroen van on the West Shore today and as it was so cold there I was glad to be able to buy a hot coffee from the very pleasant owner.
It was so cold on the front there that I had to go in to my car to drink the coffee .

Looks like mobile 'phones aren't the only major distractions for some drivers...

One for ME and anyone else who is interested.
Car S.O.S. tonight on the Nat Geo channel features a Jaguar Mk.2 and the advert clearly shows it passing The Washington on a tow truck so it must have been filmed locally.
Worth a watch.

Fuel prices at supermarkets to be slashed for second time this month
Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's are all set to cut the price of petrol and diesel.

From tomorrow at Asda, motorists will pay no more than £1.13 per litre for petrol and £1.15 for diesel.

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "We were at the point where motorists should have been starting to feel aggrieved that pump prices were higher than they ought to be.
