What have you done with your Supercar today ?

Phil, happy to - the car is indeed on the road, this was taken just before its last outing about a week ago.

Very nice Steve,

I've seen several 220's over the years but never an XJR15. There cannot be too many out there so a rare site for sure.

Are the cars completely different in the performance department, engine output, weight etc?

This is what I did with my 918 last week, and I can't pretend I don't like the headline...:-)

Have you read the comments on that article? Seem to be mostly from a bunch of f*cking muppets who'd never know what to do with a 918 if they ever got the chance!

Thanks Phil. They are about as different as you can get, so they make a nice pairing. XJ220 perfect for long road trips. XJR15 - the ultimate Sunday adrenaline rush - but with the same benefits / pitfalls as, say, a road-going GT40 or GTR. When I picked up the '15, I thought, I know what, I'll drive it home, it's only 250 miles. This is what happened...

So you have my fave Supercar in the GT and also my other favourite in the 22B. My good man you have some taste flights from Cork to......

[Yetski]

Just got back from Spain today after a little jaunt down there with a few friends

[DevonPaul]

I really really really know I shouldn't, and that it will all end in tears, especially after talking to 4321GO at Thruxton on Thursday, but I look at all those cars lined up in the pictures above, and the only one I see is the Lambo.

Anyone know where I can hide one in Devon?

[CornishRob]

I saw the Lambo "5 DAC" in Ramsgate the other day. Looked and sounded lovely as it drove past me
