the licence loser lol. so true

 

I hadn't seen that one. I like the Pendine Sands segment a lot more though, the XKR they have in that segment is almost exactly like mine.

 

Try this link for Pendine Sands XKR test:

Thanks JJ, but the iPad won't play that. I've seen the vid on my laptop but would be useful on the iPad, laptop is never used now !

 

Mal;

Funny I have an 11 inch MacBook Air and don't get the point of the iPads when this will do everything they do better with a full size keyboard, weighs one kilo and has a a video camera....etc.


Plus they are easier to hold..... you need a stand or velcro on your pants to use an iPad.

Sorry the link doesn't work on your iPad....no problems on my Mac Air.

Q.E.D.

cheers,

Getting away from the tech jargon for a bit, is it any wonder that "Top Gear" voted the Jag as one of the few "Super-Cool Cars" on their board? Makes me want to go out to the garage, give my XKR a wipe-down, then onto the interstate for a high-speed run up to Flagstaff and back.

 

Have fun TTD;

Course that puts me in mind of the time I got three tickets in one day on Interstate 40 in my 911SC....both sides of Flagstaff....including a commando who went airborne across the center median in his patrol car in pursuit.

To his eternal disappointment I had enough cash in my pocket to avoid being booked into jail for the outrageous crime against humanity of doing 70mph on a 100 mile long dead straight superhighway marked at 55mph in a car that would do three times the speed limit with out trouble.....

Two of the three were pretty dubious.

How do I know?

I had the cruise control set at 100mph.

Hope the Federales are too busy to notice you out for a spin.

cheers,

jj
