Mad me laugh
I was a Jag man way before Porsche
Was 18 and had a series 2 v12 XJ on my mums
Insurance and in central London with no brakes. Hand brake was weak at best but managed carefully to drive around and have a good time before the journey back home in west london, Stress but enjoyable too.
Bought the car for £2000 had it no more than a year, spent £800 ish on the brakes/master cylinder and sold it for £2000 - yes it was super clean and polished to within an inch of its life MEMORIES MEMORIES
PS never had AA or RAC cover
