Loving the Jaaaaag mate! Thats one of my guilty pleasures right there, been toying between one of them of the higher priced E39 5series, just not sure I can justify running a Big Jag...
Do it hehethumbup

It's such a lovely place to be...I've wanted one for ages & thought what the hell. Didn't fancy a Merc/BM as tempting as E55's/SEL's/E34 5's are!

I love it when I'm bumbling along & then end up with someone tailgating me only to plant my foot for a second or two & watch them disappear in the rear view...& on a cold rainy grim morning, it's a gorgeous place to be! I was stuck in a rolling 5mph traffic jam on the A23 one night, I was there for an hour but I loved every minute biggrin

Worth the £80 quid in petrol per week for the 350/375 miles I do to work.

Not put any pics of my latest acquisition up yet. Bought myself an E36 328 Sport for a winter hack whilst the VX Turbo is getting ready for next summer. Its done just under 150k but is tight as anything. Full leather, climate, reverse sensors, ESR, M-Tech bits etc etc. Bloody loving it. Downside is it has an auto box, but pop it in Sports mode and it flys. Its very juicy for a daily, but the straight 6 sounds great and I would get bored with anything more sensible. It is terrible on the ice though. Its got E46 MV1 alloys on at the mo (got some centre caps here for it), but I have the orginal BBS rims which will be getting a refurb with anthracite centres and polished lips in the spring. Got obligatory PH smilies in ther rear windows and a 'Pinnochio's Pizzeria Nurburgring' sticker in the rear window. Here's a quick pic til I get some decent one's:

hehe It does look like it doesn't it? Westminster Blue cloud9...Could there be any more definitive Jaguar colour, aside from BRG of course!

& yes, Oatmeal leather with walnut all around. Lovely thumbup

Some clearer pictures! But it needs a serious clean...The winter months are harsh on any car I use with the 350-400 miles I do to work each week through country roads.
