Joking apart, the red really suits it ... just a tow bar now for the bike trailer
I did joke with the salesman about that
Exhausts in the way

Jealousy is a shameful trait Cookie.

Any chance of a quick peek under her clothes mate.?
Oh, and perhaps the cabin too.?
Not that I'm that impressed, obviously...

I'm guessing it would make a good base for Pitty's vinyl overlay project.?

Is yours a V6 or a V8, Cookie?
I went to a Ducati Owners club meet last year and one of the members turned up in one of these. He worked for JLR and they were all given usage of an F type for a week so they could tell anyone who asked how good they were. He was saying how the engine blocks are the same whether its a V6 or a V8. The V6 just has the last two cylinders blanked off.

Agree with all you said, including the last part too. Doesn't seem real tbh.

V6s. Middle one of the range. 380bhp.
V8 is just too much IMO. Plus I ran out of money

LOL, I have to be honest & admit when that advert came on the TV last night I immediately thought of C00kiemonster.
Thanks for posting us up the extra pics mate, very very lovely indeed.
They really hide that engine away don't they.
Is it an automatic.?

8 speed auto plus paddle shift. 3 different modes. Dynamic mode is like a manual. Plus it's snorts like a hippo on the upshift
and blips on the downshift.
