One of my customers bought a Jaguar XK of Lee Trundel a year ago for 57K aint seen him for a while but he popped in today and let me have a blast down the M4.

A 4.2 V8 with 370BHP semi auto paddle gear shift in silver, an absolute dimond of a car.

20inch rims with 285mm on the rear i was in heaven a truly awsome machine but for that money not my choice.

The best ive driven is the Aston Martin DB9 4.3 V8 with a manual box same power but just felt more solid.

(No a more solid car to drive) it felt safer better grip i suppose.

Again by a customer, i must be in the wrong industry.

lucky sod. loverly motor :cool:

Nice:cool: - I do like the new XK. Much better than the sloppy old shape one; I was quite disappointed with that as I've always been a Jag fan.....

I never tried that one - despite always liking the look of the XK series; driving the "normal" one was so disappointing that I never bothered. Guess I should have driven an XKR just to make sure......

 

.....still I do like the new version and Big JC reckons it's a good car so Tonsus is still a lucky b@stard:hyper:

 

Richard:)

I've driven the XK a couple of times now and love them. Very tempted to get one next. Not tried the XK-R yet though.

 

Never been a particular fan of the Jag styling (except the Mk2 and E-Type of course :bow:) but loved the new XK as soon as I saw the "Lightweight Prototype".

The XF is stunning too.

One day, one day.

The Jag 4.2 V8 is 300BHP. The supercharged XKR is 420BHP

Not the DB9. DB9 is a 6litre V12 only. You probably drove the AM V8 Vantage.

FlikZ has an XKR, he turned the traction control off and booted it when he was leaving my house in the summer, there was 2 huge rubber tracks going way down the road and the place stank of burnt rubber for ages. It took ages for the smoke to clear too and i was left to face the flak from my neighbours. It sits quite high though and seems to roll a lot in the corners but i still want one :cool:
