Yep, I do the same re the cool down plus have a fan over ride switch that goes on when I leave the engine idling for a couple of minutes after a sprint/hill climb run.

Ha! I had a Citroen SM, it was bonkers. I love Citroens and I've had a lot of them. Way back I had a Light 15 and a few ID and DS models. Then a couple of GT turbos.
When I think of all the cars I've had the very good fortune to own it's quite amazing. My very first E-Type Jaguar, a 3.8 DHC in red with with chrome wire wheel cost me £300. I was 17 years old .... Thanks Gran, she guaranteed the bank loan for me. I am VERY OLD.
We where all about 19 years old and had very well paid apprentaships. At Sperry Rand, Ferranti, Racal, and a host of other top flight electronic/mechanical Engineering plants.
When I was at college, Bracknell in Berkshire, this was part of the car park fleet. Mini Cooper S. Triumph GT6 MK1 Triumph TR4A Triumph TR5 Healey 100/4 Healey 3000 MK1 E-Type Jaguar. MK2 3.8 Jaguar. Daimler Dart. TVR Grantura MK2A. Lotus Elan Big Valve.
In those days I was buying Jaguar MK2 3.4 and 3.8 cars for about £40!
When I went to get my second E-Type, a FHC 4.2 from a home-dealer at Wokingham in Berkshire, near the Three Frogs pub. He showed me a barn of XK 120 to a 150S cars..... He said I could have any of them for £200 .... nahh I said, deeeer, I should have snapped up the 150S. Hind sight is brilliant.
Oh yeah. That second E-Type rinsed me out at a whooping £400!
In those days mum would insure the car and I would be a named driver. It was all so very different back then.
Regards. Rich.

I guess we probably shouldn't berate all the current people buying cars on PCP

The question I have, is has anyone actually died of megatron ?
Pandemics peter out because the strains become more 'virulent' but less 'symptomatic'.
Also, whatever happened to our immune system that maintained us up until this point for the last, billion or more years ?

“Mandatory covid injections incoming in the new year:”
According to those suffering in South Africa, it causes a headache and a stuffy nose…
