Hello, Bob,
That's how Jaguars steal our hearts; they make us work on them. It's a form of bonding.

Bob,

You've clearly gone through the car methodically. I hope the test goes OK.

I haven't been to Galway since a motoring holiday with my parents more than fifty years ago. It seemed a very long way from Dublin so I'm surprised to find it's only 207 miles. No motorways in those days.

As you'll be going through the Midlands, Steve at SB Wheels could be worth an inquiry:

SB Wheels Jaguar Original Equipment Alloy Wheels

Good to hear the NCT went well.

I understand vehicle tax is considerably more painful in Eire than it is is in UK so today could be a less happy one for you.
