I've been sat in the office looking at the standard rear plate on my IS250 and thinking how horrible it looks having a standard oblong plate in a shaped recess and that a shaped plate would look nice (especially as my rear plate is looking a bit shabby). A bit of research reveals an XF Jag plate would appear to fit quite well. Anyone tried it? Link to XF rear plate dimensions: https://www.jepsonandco.com/product/20083610t/

Beating 2.0D Beemers and Mercs is hardly the height of excitement. 😂 Often more a case of being to take more extreme risks than your "competitor" . I've "lost" many a race to much slower cars than my Tiv purely because the other guy was willing to take risks I thought were not reasonable and therefore let him drive off into the sunset and he no doubt regaled his mates down the pub with how he blew a TVR into the weeds in his 2.0D BMW. Frankly I'm not prepared to go to prison for the sake of boasting rights. I will however "make progress" when the opportunity presents itself. I enjo -

Hmm... Rover P5B Coupe I've had for 20 years and a TVR Chimaera I've had for 15 years. I don't think those will be going anywhere soon. The dogmobile however...
