Are XC60 owners happy?

Come to think of it, you've reappeared after Australia have (finally) won a couple of matches(T20, 1 dayer). Could this be pure coincidence I ask?

No, the disaster was apparent well before the 4th test. Needed the 4X to soften the pain. Everything became blurry after that. Never mind perhaps we can salvage some crumbs in the one-day series. Two close finishes so far.

We also have the Tour Down Under in town. Interesting and free to watch.

What are those ashes things anyway?

The acceleration is good but the one niggle is that when you back off the accelerator and then go back on, there is a slight delay before the power boots in. It is there from the first touch but seems gentle power rather than snap in power. It happens but a fraction after the pedal is pushed down. I suppose that I need to back off less and keep it all spinning, maybe it is a car that likes revs to get the best out of it. I have not noticed this in the gentle driving I have done till yesterday when I was pushing it through the curves...not madly but just driving in a 'sporty' manner and I just felt there was a bit of a delay then 'bang' and in it came. Any one else noticed this? The rest of the car is fine though.

totally agree

You have to die and be cremated.

There seems to be little interest here in the arcane rituals associated with the handing over of the useless trophy.

No sour grapes then?
Still, you gave us a good mauling in the one-day series - that must've softened the blow a bit, surely?

Yes, a bit like getting your wife to blow a kiss to you as she drives off with your best mate.

Cruel. As kids did you use a magnifying glass to shine sunlight onto an ant to warm it up?
