    The new Ace replacement, Engine Rooms 20th March!!

    Just got home to rural Cheshire after an awful run back. M1 down from 4 lanes to 1 and M6 down from 3 lanes to 2. Traffic up the Ying Yang and c•nts everywhere, especially in Lorries. Still, despite all the congestion the Jaaag ran beautifully. Thanks for organising Dem, and thanks for not...

    The new Ace replacement, Engine Rooms 20th March!!

    Dem, I’ll be getting there between 5.30 and 6pm. As it’s a nice day I’ll bring the Jaaag.

    Andyk

    That’s really good to hear. Perhaps those attending the meet this evening can raise a glass to Andy’s memory. I know I will.

    Andyk

    I was fortunate to meet Andy several times and he was one of life’s gentlemen. My only criticism; an ongoing fascination with Astons! I had a few ‘pops‘ at him about that over the years but it was only ever gentle banter. Andy mate, you will be greatly missed by us all, and my sincere...

    Apparently Jaguar have a new logo....

    Jag have really screwed up touting the Barbie car as the saviour of the company. It’s a great big, pink elephant that will kill Jaguar. Just look at the Porsche Tincan; same sort of price but, after their PCP ends, no one wants to keep them. Consequently they are cluttering up forecourts and...

    Rattle from alternator

    And that’s why big hammers were invented. Line it up, and then tw4t it until it moves. Then grease up the thread, put the nut on and twist it until it creaks. That’ll be the spirit of Maserati telling you that you are about half way there. You won’t need a torque wrench, just keep tightening it...

    Rattle from alternator

    No it wasn’t. It was rebuilt at a ‘normal’ repairer of such things. However, I’m sure he wasn’t aware that Maserati V8 alternators don’t hang off the side of the engine in a cool airstream.

    Rattle from alternator

    Please, pretty please with sugar on top, don’t get it refurbished. I did that once and I can tell you, bend over, grit your teeth and buy a new one. As it goes, being in the V gives it a pretty brutal workspace and it gets very f-ing hot. The first time I got it refurbished, the reg/rec failed...

    The Jaguar relaunch.

    Mate, it’s on the way. The only reason Smarmy Starmer got in was because people were p!ssed off with the Tories. The ‘Red Wall’ who voted Hard Labour in already hate them, so who do you think they are they going to vote for next? Dislike him as much as you want, but Farage is THE ONLY MP who...

    The Jaguar relaunch.

    Everything. I’m a car lover, not a ‘luxurious‘ means of travel lover. Yes, they whine a lot, but so do the old milk floats and I wouldn’t want one of those either. Some say, that the whine as an electric car goes past is the sound of depreciation, not the sound of an infrastructure under strain...

    The good morning thread

    Hi guys. Fwiw, I drive my Spyder in strict adherence to the ‘roof down unless the storm outside has a name’ principle. Yes, I know, the word outside is superfluous, and I’m sure it appears that way if you haven’t met my wife. If you have, you’ll know I’m right. However, today, I’m sitting...

    The Jaguar relaunch.

    From a non-Woke Jaaag owner; this re-brand is a crock of Sh!t. That pink throbber is an affront to any person with an appreciation of what doesn’t look like a peeled turd on rag-week. This, obviously, creates a line in the sand; before: pre catastrophe wholesomeness and after: woke w4nkers...

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Mate, that is wrong on a number of levels, especially as you used/insinuated the F(emale) word. Still, if I do go to Le Mans, and took the Maser, I’m sure I wouldn’t give a **** as the old girl got me there . An equally likely scenario is me not going, and taking the Jaaag. However, if our paths...

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    That’s Ok I guess, but my 4200 sounds better and louder. Obviously, everyone has their own opinion but, as always, I’m right. Even my Jaaag would give that a run for it’s money. No offence, but you must, try harder. X

    As I feel I’m somehow responsible for this unfortunate outcome, I’ll come down and say hi.

    I guess that’ll work. Tbf, 2 out of 4 isn’t a bad effort from someone as ESN as yourself. :)

    A very special Ace meet 14th Nov!!

    Mate, any person/juvenile with a sense of self preservation would have long since turned you into the scuffers. Having said that, seeing the F1 again would be worth suffering you, you insufferable Sh!tbag. Sadly, the Mecca isn’t an option, so you’ll just have to spin your AM wheels until we can...
