Top Gear Jag falls to bits

[rtbiscuit]

my wifes brand new top of the range IX35 has decided to stop working in the cold as the keys have stopped talking to the car. apparently in the cold they are vunerable to this. she is not happy to say the least.

When I was looking at Zeds I was also looking at old shape XKR's but the V8 put me off... made the Zed look positively economical

 

I considered old shape XKR's too, it was the shape that put me off, still too pipe and slippers for me - the new one on the other hand, I could almost go for.....in a few years.

This one would do nicely http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/25354 ... ition.html

 

And I know Ekona, a 911 GT3 would be preferable obviously

the old shape xkr are ok, solid engines, but not as fast as you would think, make a lot of noise but dont really pull the way you want. the new shape XK 4.2 engine is quality, fast and solid, then theres the updated 5.0 engine which is sweet, but then there is the R versions, which are very very fast.

 

if i was going for a jag and not for a lot of money, i would have an s-type R, very fast, handle brilliant, looks are ok i suppose, and the noise the supercharger makes is awesome, best out of all the superchargers.

I don't know why buy I've always wanted an Jag XJS 5.3 V12.......if I remember rightly they're supposed to be dog awful I loved the look.
