I think that remark is in singularly bad taste

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Alex saying something like:

Ooh, get her. What's up dear, your strap-on booster not working?

He's just bought a set of Dunlops, and you're right, Jag XJ40/Soveriegn 4.0, 1990 I thing. Nice car actually, although he now knows why he got it surprisingly cheap. Cost him £600 for a new set of rubber, the old ones were down to the cords in places.

Tell him to join the Jaguar Enthusiast's Club, they provide help , advice and you can get a discount off parts and servicing when you use their card. The metric tyres can be had for £69 each. They get advertised in the JEC magazine each month. I have the telephone number if he wants it, a bloke in Nottingham, he'll post them anywhere in the UK for £10 for two tyres.

Laternatively buy imperial wheels, a set of 15 or 16 inch rims should cost about £400 maximum. Lots of them available in the magazine.

Yes of course I can, I didn't realise the CX used the 390mm tyres.

Yep, 190/65 on some non-Turbos and diseasels, and 210 or 220/55 on all Turbo petrols.

Got the email, ta.
