If it's like mine, the little button on the end of the cruise arm is actually the speed limiter.
Ahh, that's what I did. It was sort of coming back to me, but I deffo pressed that. Phew!KungFooBob wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 6:19 pmIf it's like mine, the little button on the end of the cruise arm is actually the speed limiter.
To turn on the cruise you just push up... then up again to go faster, down for slower, etc.. just like the Beemer one. Just don't touch the button on the end.

!) - good appointment though so I'm happy 
Riding home was about 2 miles. But, dark, foggy (low flying cloud?), new tarmac for some of it None of my favourite things. New tarmac that's a couple of days used I like, but new that was laid in the fog this morning and has been fogged on all day is not so confidence inspiring to me at the mo! But I got home safe (albeit at about 20mph!!) and am now procrastinating as i have homework to do for tomorrow.The Jaguar main dealer went a step further and added all of them to the invoice without asking me. They must have thought they were helping me as they got the right hump when I told them to go back and redo the paperwork.Count Steer wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:00 pmOh noes!

(PS Buying from a main dealers not much different, alloy wheel insurance? special Autoglym valet? gap insurance?......zzzzzzzzzz........)
That would tick me off to the max. At least Audi threw in the alloy wheel damage insurance as a bonus and I actually wanted the Autoglym treatment but they didn't really get pushy about anything. They just said 'we have to tell you about....' and explained about anything I asked. Quite a pleasant experience really. Particularly as the car was one that they'd not even had chance to get on display. They asked about current vehicles and found out about a certain penchant for bikes and said 'Ah..sir will be wanting a bit of oomph'.Mussels wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:23 pmThe Jaguar main dealer went a step further and added all of them to the invoice without asking me.

One of my neighbours has not long got a purple Aygo. TBH in bland reds/whites its just another car but for some reason it looks smart as in Purple.KungFooBob wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:46 pm When I bought the wifes Aygo from Toyota, I haggled and got the gap insurance, paint/dent insurance and the scotchguard/diamond protection bollocks chucked in for free... and a grand off the list price.
HTF are you supposed to get your gob round that! Never understood people's fascination with "tower burgers"? 
I quite fancy an E class drophead, but finding it hard to justify at the mo.Taipan wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 6:08 pm Dealer pic...
Tis a LuLu of a car though. 58k with FMBSH. Straight as a gun barrel. Bit gutless after the Bimmer, but that wont be a bad thing. Felt fecking luvverly to be back in a Merc though.
Turkey is a dry meat. Grinding it into a patty ain't doing it any favours. That'll be dry as a nun's nasty.
That ain't no tower burger small gob boy, take the sanger off and it'll slide right in.Taipan wrote: Thu Nov 18, 2021 11:03 am Been emailed this and asked if I fancy celebrating Xmas early!

Just in case though, you have left me the bike in your will yeah?Skub wrote: Thu Nov 18, 2021 6:31 pm Had an appointment with the abdominal aortic screening people. I didn't even know it was a thing.
The do an ultrasound,like a baby scan. Turns out I'm neither pregnant,nor in possession of an enlarged aorta.
Which is cool on both counts.
Rock and roll lifestyle me.

But I wanted to push my heart to the limit to check all is well. Doc was very impressed. Now just need to alter my diet to bring down the high blood pressure .
