Last year was great, looking forward to this one.I think we need a sound-off competition tho.

Not very Jaguar I know, but it is XK's

If there's a noise making competition I'll bring the other car.

Hi dnb - I sold my Tiv to get the XKR, then realised i missed the noise, so have removed boxes on the Jag !!
My other choice, as I needed 4 seats now, would of been a cerbera, but I think I had just had enough of TVR.

How do you find them, very different cars ?
