There is a difference between P2 and P3 although it's not worth talking about, it's simply a couple of checks.

In my experience it was a sizeable cheque

wow i've just came across this thread.

 

A lot of really nice stuff going on, I cant wait to see the ls3 in place!

 

Thanks - and me too. Getting close now

Hope so been waiting for this V8 build for a while now....

Dave- to me it does look like a euro box. Just another exec car

 

In that class look at the new IS F sport- design wise nothing in that sector is anywhere near as radical. The rest look too ordinary, including the XE

 

As mentioned before the big XJ has a funky design. I thought this would've followed suit. Lyon would expect the cars in this sector to be a bit more daring rather than the grandad/chauffeur sector

 

In terms of the XF- I love how it looks inside and out. But wasn't overly impressed with the drive. Felt too floaty, didn't feel comfortable pushing it because it didn't feel very sure footed. That was a sport which I presume had better suspension? The XE would have to be a much better drive IMO

Probably most likely the wheels/tyres. You need 20" rims and not the standard Dunslip tyres

I found the ride to still be a little floaty (it is a 2tonne barge) and mine didn't have adaptive suspension which firms up in the corners so I fitted £250 eibach springs, the car looks so much meaner and now handles itself pretty well for a big car, although if I was regularly going to throw it through twisties I would upgrade the brakes, just ask Will/Graham/Darren etc....

When you say you test drove a sport, was it a. XFS or an R-sport as there is a BIG difference, can't say I have ever felt like I can't push my Jaaaag, if anything I have to hold back or I would loose my license very quickly

I went up to Gaydon the other day to have a look at the 3.0 S... It is a PROPERLY good looking car to be honest, still not 100% sure on the rear, but the rest of it kind of compensates for the rear. Also, the technology is staggering.. you can preheat your cabin from your phone, and even lock the car from anywhere in the world!? Not sure how that's going to be that useful, but even still - pretty cool!

I wouldn't say the technology is staggering, staggering for a Jag maybe but to be expected in a similar priced German car...

As for the locking by mobile I can't wait for the hacking and insurance hikes

I really wanted the XE to look and feel special as I would be in the market maybe for a 3 door coupe version, but sadly I just don't feel it. The XK, XF & f-type have all looked great to me and made me want one but the XE just doesn't do it. The fact that Jaguar have 'toned down' the look to try and shift a lot of them adds to the feeling really, especially if they do shift and they are everywhere...

Gutted I couldn't make this meet , looked a great turnout with some lovely zeds and people

Don't want excuses Josh, we want results!

 

Well I heard you still haven't got your body kit on yet so thought what's the point in coming

 

Will be at the next one 100%

 

Need to do one round the new forest somewhere ......

To be fair Steve has just moved and also bought a PS4

I'm not a fan of sit down gigs really, went to Wenbley to see Oasis last show there but was standing, sound was great, Kasabian were very good too

 

Is that partly because you're 8 foot tall?

I won't lie that does help, I was with my son too who is 6'7" so unlucky if you were behind us

This is the reason i always service it myself. i get to pull my own pants down

Dirty boy!

Yep, there is absolutely no difference between a P2 and a P3 for the 350 and never has been - we've all had our pants pulled down by Nissan on that one over the years. I've been going on about it for years as well

Not just dealers certain Independants do the same, very shabby...

It's nothing extraordinary but it's a decent enough looking car. My criticism would be they dwelled too much on it bring a baby xf and it's turned out too similar to it. In the same way the x type was the first baby jag and that was a shrunken xj

 

When I first saw the new xj a few years back I was surprised at how much they had changed the design compared to the ones previously. Even now there's still nothing like it from anyone else in that sector

 

Was hoping this xe would be a bit more radical being in the smaller/younger market but it's a bit tame

 

I heard the drive will be amazing though

If it drives as well/better than an XF then that will be its saving grace, but agree about the looks, will people want a Euro box with a Jag badge

looks like they stencilled over an Audi A6 to me.

The rear in particular is very 'Audi' and non descript, from the side it is just as mallet XF, and the interior has lost 99% of the personality and style of the XF although it does have more tech.

There's lots of little things to like. Icons on patrols, taking items out of the vault no longer show as upgradable. Definitely a boost to the graphics detail. Chat available to fire teams. Now if only they would fix the bugs that kick you from the game

Yeah lots of little bits and bobs

So the biggest thing to shout about the update is that you can do tricks on your sparrow....

Thanks both of you They are quite easy to find but I wasn't sure how good they were. The one I have just broken the strings on is Adidas so I thought that would be ok but obviously not

Probably just got a duff one, otherwise Mr twobears needs to watch his step

Apparently the 1st person view is making alot of parents angry, as their kids can now see in more detail what the prostitute is doing, and killing said prostitute afterwards lol ummm hello, its an 18+ rated game......

Daily Mail strikes again..... yep it is 18+ rated for a reason

Hard to beat my line to Straun when he first started...

"Let me take you to the moon and back "

Just done the weekly heroic that was tough!

 

On nightfall?

 

Fun arn't they. Good to see they are removing the cheesy cheats too, like hiding under the the balcony on the priest fight

Yeah the b*stards! I ran over to hide then couldn't get under and got promptly handed my ar$e on a plate

Yeah did the nightfall weekly one with a German guy and and American girl, the team chat option is good now much more social, I can see Destiny Dating becoming popular.... kill a Minotaur then straight in with some chat up lines 😜

I guess it depends on how you feel about remakes, and how much you enjoyed GTAV the first time around.

 

Certainly I feel it's the best game of the last generation, and experiencing it in a different way has brought new life into it.

Oh I am enjoying it but the graphics are nothing special, the novelty of the 1st person view soon passes and you realise it is how pretty much 99% of games are made

Gameplay wise it is GTA you either love it or hate it, I personally love picking up a hooker then beating her up to get my money back but I can see that it wouldn't be for everyone

Just done the weekly heroic that was tough!

I've never played it at all. Expected delivery on Friday.

I only played it for an hour or so on PS3 so enjoying it a lot

Not a massive difference with GTA5 Will, yes it's nicer looking and yes 1st person is fun but if I had played the original more I wouldn't have bought it again...

It certainly isn't THAT pretty compared to some of the other releases lately

Shame I couldn't make a guest appearance, I was going to hitch a ride with Pappa but had to pull out at the last minute

 

Go carefully leaving it until the last minute to pull out could be costly

Not a problem these days Dave, I am firing blanks

Hope the update is worthwhile, beginning to drag now. I don't have the time or inclination to do the VoG, seems like they have replaced a decent story element with just reduce loudly hard strikes (weekly heroic) or multiplayer events that are just stupidly long (VoG)

Still love doing a daily strike and catching up with mates like Straun & Steve for a blast though

Shame I couldn't make a guest appearance, I was going to hitch a ride with Pappa but had to pull out at the last minute

Aiming for 60fps won't be the issue, it'll be the graphics settings. There's loads in there: Environment/Shadow/Texture quality, occlusion, AA, bloom etc. Try turning those down, even on the lowest settings it should still look pretty.

Wow I never thought of any of that

Runs like a dog unfortunately which I will put down to software as I tried out CoD AW last week and it ran pretty well
