RE: Driven: Jaguar XKR-S Convertible

[Vilhelm]

The interior looks really dated. I'm sure it's nice and squidgy, but it looks like something out of a 10-year-old Japanese car.

"Rule Britannia...", "Land Of Hope And Glory" and all that!
Pip pip, good old Limey automotive lesson to the Yanks!

You guys are getting soft!

Nothing wrong with Aviators .... classic shades ..... actually quite like the shirt(!) .... and I think I'd be concentrating with that much power ;O)

Don't rate the front though ..... completely ruins the classic lines of the standard car.

I need one of these, they are achingly good looking!

What is with those gear changes? They are really laboured and imprecise. It sounds like a car with a ruined clutch. I couldn't be doing with that after spending £103k!! It would be going straight back to Jaguar!

It's really not a looker is it, to my eyes anyway. Very expensive as well IMO.

And why do they insist on showing them off in such awful colours?

Not for me, but each to their own I guess.

Give some of us a chance to get home Dan, you've just spoilt my fun

I read SWoll's post and thought that he was being a tad harsh, although I was impressed he recognised the shirt to know how much it cost.


As for the car, can't make my mind up. I do the love the coupe and normally I love convertibles, especially with 550 horses. The components just don't add up like they should. Would happily take that C or D in a flash though
