Quite common nowadays to offer the same engine in different levels of tune - although agree that's very close so probably been detuned just enough to get it into a lower company car tax bracket or something.

Lovely car and another great colour choice, congratulations! Bet the drive back was a lot of fun This is slowly turning into a Jag owners forum

Car looks stunning Does that mean they now to the Blackvue 650 as a single channel version? Assuming that's cheaper than the 2CH I had to buy that's annoying It's a good camera though, I've been really happy with mine, the wifi functions are really handy as well.

That's really surprising, shows how deceptive the looks can be. And that is awesome if both rows go into the floor, didn't know they did that!

The Q7 and the Voyager are the same size on the outside? I would never have guessed that, the Q7 looks massive! But yeah that makes perfect sense, as a family vehicle the Voyager is so much more practical - is that both the 2nd and 3rd rows that fold into the floor? This is properly geeky but it's a nice touch that the window switches are exactly the same as you'd find in a far more expensive Mercedes

Your wife wanted a Q7 and you ended up with a Grand Voyager? You're going from one minicab to another Seriously though I do like these, they do look like a really comfortable way to get around and in terms of actual space and practicality the 4x4s can't really compete with these. May not be great to drive but when you're "wafting" in it I imagine there's not a lot that beats it - particularly when you get the wife to drive

Those are amazing pics - you're getting pretty good at the motion pics

I don't know which normal model it compares to but the pricing is on par with roughly what I'd expect to pay for a good full frame DSLR. So yes if I was in the market for a full frame camera, then this would be on my list

Good idea to do this but I generally call to get things moving quickly and send a follow up email after every call summarising what was discussed.

Sounds awesome! Yep I was really impressed when I tried one, in particular the power is unbelievable, most of all at the upper end it's relentless, just doesn't stop pulling hard! That sounds very similar to the SV8 my brother bought a few years ago, was also a one owner car maintained at no expense and also had a new set of tyres put on despite him selling the car! The previous owner had swapped the SV8 for an XF-R, I wonder if it's the same owner

I love the way that looks!

The car looks absolutely beautiful, congratulations! Haven't actually seen those wheels on an XF-R before, are those an option? I love the colour combo, exactly the way I'd have it if I had one - what's the supercharged beast under the bonnet like?

Wow they look amazing! Haha no surprises there (only say it as I'm exactly the same!)

I'd get the dealer to sort it

Nice collection! He did very well out of the privatisation of the Russian oil and gas industry - whether legitimate or not is up for discussion

T Cut is quite an aggressive cut so would try something a bit lighter first.

A lot of solid colours don't have a clear coat - that's the reason for the difference. I haven't used T-Cut in ages either, actually I have but it's to polish up the sink! Maybe a heavy waxing of the bonnet so the cat slides off?

Stunning pictures! I was thinking the same thing

In very simple terms, different levels of compression - not sure on the technicalities of it though.

Looks awesome, next owner of that will be getting a cracker!

I can believe that - always been a fan of the earlier V10 M5 due to that engine but the F10 just seems to have moved the game on so much more!

Very nice! How's the M5?

How can GAP be dragging their feet? It's their job to make up the difference - or are they arguing that the insurers offer is too low so they're having to make up too much? Bet you're glad you took out GAP insurance!

Lucky escape! How did his head come out when I'm assuming he would have had racing harnesses?

Welcome to WIM! I'll let Tony respond to this properly but I also have a Merc that had exactly the same issues (they all do) that was cured by WIM - it's definitely not "how they should be". Are you within reasonable distance of the WIM centre in Chesham? If so the best thing to do is let them work their magic and sort the issue.
