JC (Jumped up Cretin) what a tw@!

He complained about everyday use.
1. The radio.....er 427 V8 why would you want to listen to anything else?
2. Tyre noise.....so any other similarly shod car doesn't make any tyre noise does it?
3. LHD.....yawn
4. Plastic rear.......how come in his report then he said it had carbon fibre bumpers (wrong it has carbon fibre wings and bonnet actually) and poly carbonate bumbers which help keep the weight down.
4. Size.....the car is the same size as a 911 Porsche FFS

He spent more time on the SATNAV thingy (who cares) than he did anything else!!

He forgot to mention you can easily get a lot more in the back of a Z06 like a set of golf clubs (which he went on about with the Jag). Compared with any other Super/Sports car it is so much more practical than anything else I can think of.

On the subject of the Jag is it just me but that thing is butt ugly not beautiful, it looks like the Chrysler Sebring convertible from the front!!

Ironically he also said the Z06 sounded like a bag of spanners at idle and the whole Jag piece had a soundtrack that got staedily more and more like a bag of spanners. The Z06 didn't go light over 130 either. He has a lot of conflicting views does old JC...but it is ugly. I have to concede it did look almost good in silver (and only silver) which is weird as the C5 looked worst in silver IMHO.

That Jag did sound wrong just wrong. i couldnt believe it when he said it was a V8. Ugly as well. Why would anyone buy one?? It just shouts out 'I CANT AFFORD AN ASTON' from every angle
