Now that could be described as greedy!
So the obvious question is, which is the favourite?? I know what mine is and it begins with an E!....

Definitely the “E”
The I-PACE is very fast and smooth but not proper driving ...it runs off my solar PV array, so offsets tye “E”

Not in the same league as two Jags, but at least I can match the modern and fun category - plus match Robbiee’s number plate !

Horses for courses!
The F Type is a V6S with 0-60 in around 4.6, it's an incredible car. Can use it every day and have fun at the same time. The F Type sounds awesome with lots of snap crackle and pop. E Type is quiet by comparison and purely for Sunny Summer days. But The E gets more favourable comments when driving around town. Just can't use it when cold and wet!
The E uses over twice the amount of fuel but appreciates in value, whilst the F is depreciating!

Mike, I fully approve!
We are lucky enough to have a nice new company car that is the school run bus. I’ve had a Porsche 997 daily driver for 5 years that hasn’t depreciated and have just had the bosses approval for an upgrade to a 991 this year!
I’ve also managed to quietly collect a few interesting old bikes that I love and then of course there’s the E! It’s a family sized S1 but goes and sounds great since an engine rebuild. It’s the best thing I could have done with what it cost. It makes me grin every time I open the garage door, let alone drive it!
Life’s far too short, savings are worth next to nothing so this way it’s win win win.
No brainer really!

Thanks Guy,
There is more to the choice of that avatar. When I was restoring the 52 MG I found the left rear brake baking plate was ground down and the U bolts for the axles were bent back. Looking at it , the penny dropped, at some time the left rear wheel has come off at speed grinding down and bending these parts. So when I saw that image of that poor guy with that look on his face , I had to have it
Must have been an exciting moment for the driver of my MG when it happened ! Nothing quite like being passed by one of your own wheels.
Cheers
Keith

You can have fun in both of course:
OLD
NEW
Sadly I have to admit that my XFS was quicker than my E
