'Jaguar Joyride': Time for Coffee?

Those Tax the Rich boys are at it again and fresh out of Ferraris for now

---

It's been a while since we've heard anything from Tax The Rich, the last time we featured its antics being back in April when two Ferrari F50s were used for a tug of war. As you do.

Yep, just heading off-road in the XJ220

The star of the latest clip is a Jaguar XJ220. Mighty fine it looks too, even if the sound still disappoints a little after all these years. However, that's the only mild criticism of this outstanding video.

This latest Tax The Rich caper features a small and disgruntled child who just happens to stumble across said Jaguar in a barn. He's then 'drives' it through an iPad in a 21st century update of that car chase from Tomorrow Never Dies with a 7 Series and a mobile.

But this is miles better. There are doughnuts, drifts, off-roading, a near miss with a tree... everything we've come to expect from these guys basically. We can't wait to see what's next!

Take a look here.

Wow. You don't see that every day. Looking forward to the implied 288GTO video up next.

[garypotter]

the xj220 in a dark colour is still one of the best looking cars ever made.

great videos, about time someone did this instead of poncing about on London streets showing off.

Please god, don't do anything bad to that 288GTO!!

[threespires]

Excellent.

[BJG1]

That sounds fecking awesome. Love this videos.

[yes i'm mad]

If you've seen one of these videos, you've seen them all. I love to see rare cars being used properly (Not like these videos that feature two F50's having a tug of war) Boring!

Still would love an XJ220, such a cool car... very rare I actually watch videos on YouTube, but I always make an exception for these folks.

[PhantomPH]

I prefer the Petrolicious videos to these. The PL guys always seem to be more humble and apreciative of what they have, whilst still getting out and driving the car. These videos always just seem a little too close to the 'Rich Unappreciative Chav' side of things.

That said, the XJ220 in blue is a thing of beauty!

The intro reminds me of the James Martin Driven Man book where he mentions discovering a Ferrari in a garage while a teenager working at Castle Howard.

Mr Martin and his Ferrari eating its engine crossed my mind while nortbound on the A34 a few weeks ago. A few days later there was a broken down white metallic white Integrale soutnbound. Hopefully that was just a little hiccup and not total engine meltdown.

I'd say the GTO is next by the looks of things !!

[BBS-LM]

One part of me thinks this is most excellent, another part just thinks, dam, show some respect, it's a bloody classic supercar. At least there getting used.

Thank the lord for people who actually use their cars and enjoy them. A dying breed.

[filski666]

wow - I think that is my favourite TTR video yet.....can't wait for the 288GTO one!

[Paperboy]

They're still idiots.

Looking forward to seeing the GTO

They're hardly destroying the cars FFS

What a man, I wish I had money to do things like that, the kid running off at the end was funny.

Its so refreshing to see museum pieces being taken out for a bit of rough! You can almost hear the concours fanatics squeeling away!!
