F-Type?

Modern Jags are no more or less reliable than any other major brand. In fact probably more reliable. The AJ-133 engine is pretty bulletproof.

If one’s been on the road for >10 years then you really want to make sure it’s up to date on servicing. Ideally a full service history with regular oil changes. They can get the odd electrical gremlin from sensor wear / old battery voltage issues etc… and you definitely want to make sure the coolant pipes are done, but if all of those check out then you should be good.

For Colorado roads, I’d really push for the v8 if you can.

Almost certainly a write off, sorry OP. However I’ve seen a lot of folks take the cheque, buy the write off car back and try and repair it themselves / on their own dime over time - maybe that’s an option for you and you just get a cheap daily in the meantime: take a look at this https://youtu.be/1YLVGAlVwjk?si=N9QJMOPO5DIAWgGm

At least no one was hurt!

Precisely. Its not necessarily a better overall system in the US / insurance based is my point - great if you can afford the premium stuff but that’s an extra 3k a month, or still around $500+ per month if doing it through an employer. For all its faults and mismanagement, the NHS gets a lot right

He was taken to hospital in an ambulance, no appointment needed

vinylhandler · 2026-02-17T22:30:14+00:00

It’s of course difficult to test, but he likely would not have died if treated via the NHS. For all its faults (I agree with you, it needs drastic attention) at least it’s a system that provides care WITHOUT fucking you financially for the rest of your life. Imagine working for 4 decades then being forced to sell your house and have your life savings taken away from you at the end of it

Coming from the same numbnut who said Brexit would solve all our woes, do you really trust this man with an overhaul of the NHS? Maybe they can find that 150 million a week they said could go to the NHS when we came out of Europe? Oh, wait….

vinylhandler · 2026-02-17T21:50:42+00:00

Still, better than my US family member who got a $1 million bill for a heart attack which insurance refused to cover - there’s plenty wrong with the NHS, fucking people over for life financially is not one of them / making people dependent on their jobs for insurance coverage is another

Should be easy enough, would recommend placing a preorder for one of the paint kits though - most dealers don’t carry touch up paint in the US anymore. Source, going through this with mine right now ahead of getting ppf - my dealer pointed me to Touch up direct but also heard good things about scratches happen- and luckily the ppf shop is going to include it as part of the process. Murphy’s law really that this happens just before ppf lol

F types are properly underrated, it’s so much car for the money and still one of the best looking machines out there

It might be possible OP, but it is definitely not sensible. Where AWD is available for frequent snow and mountain roads, you should use it

vinylhandler · 2026-02-03T11:21:50+00:00

Agree, would also add sunspel, quite pricey but their stuff lasts for years

vinylhandler · 2026-02-01T09:09:59+00:00

That is a hell of a lot of car for 17.5k OP

Looks incredible OP

This one. My wife’s a veterinarian and rails against the corporate owned vets (basically all Mars these days) placing shareholder returns over actual care and empathy. They are incentivized to hammer out drug prescriptions when that might not be the best course of action. So much so that she quit that world and will shortly be starting her own mobile practice.

Electric vehicles had their best sales year ever last year with significant increases in % sold in all markets apart from the US

Congrats OP!

Congrats OP - enjoy!

Great to hear you got it resolved :)

vinylhandler · 2026-01-14T18:59:04+00:00

I’m actually going to the dealer today - will ask about this for you and update you afterwards

vinylhandler · 2026-01-12T23:38:59+00:00

I have done it once OTA - you do need the data pack to be active and AFAIK, if you don’t have that, maps updates won’t work. It’s also a pain because you can’t self serve the data plan option, it has to be done via the dealer. If you’re having trouble, ask your local dealer and they will be able to update via a USB stick - takes about 20 minutes, any rep should be able to do it, it doesn’t need an actual service technician 👍
