Picked up my new XJ

[anonymous-user]

2012 XJ SWB 5.0 Portfolio / wood wheel with B&W audio, Midnight Black with Ebony interior. I'm going to miss my Camaro but this is on a different level.

That is utterly fantastic,nigh on perfect spec colours wise for me. Keep us updated and enjoy.

Yep, pretty rare sight on the roads here. Beemers Mercs and Lexi abound but a modern Jag is always going to be far more exclusive. I nearly bought an Italian racing red XK (it's frickin gorgeous in that colour) but in the end opted for the more practical option with more toys. My missus was sad to see the Camaro go but I think the massage seats convinced her on the drive home.

Looks great! Infact pretty much what I'm looking for right now. Aside from the steering wheel which I really don't like and the diesel engine because I'm in Great "screw the motorist for every penny you can" Britain.

My OH was pretty in love with the massage seats too

The only other one I've seen in the US was in Cincinnati - wearing Florida plates too

That looks stunning.

Drove home from work in it at 8pm last night with Puccini playing on the B&W, the cabin bathed in soft blue light, seat gently heating and massaging, wooden wheel warm in my hands and a feeling that this cabin is a pretty nice place to be on a cold winter's night.

Today we're due a shed load of snow so I'll leave it safe in it's garage and take my trusty winter smoker from Solihull.

I live in 'merica boy. This thing is small here.

I don't need it but then I didn't need any of my TVR's! I went for the XJ because I love it, prefer it to the XF and because it has all the latest technology. I decided against the XK only because I already have a 2 seater and I decided that for my main driver I needed 4 seats. In fairness the XJ does not feel like a large car when you drive it.
