Aah the XJ8: Driven round London by first-generation old-skool Rastas or round rural Surrey by Daily Mail reading borderline racists that look like Michael Winner.

Oh and you forgot ex Hayabusa riders and TVR owners that decided on a bit of quality and comfort at a bargain price.

Negative fookers :mrgreen:

I'm sure there are jaguar forums for this sort of thing...

I do quite like big old motors though. I have a 1994 Merc S320. I just don't tend to post about it on a bike forum.

Bloke opposite me at work has a £10k bmw 320d that he may be about to shell out £1800 on for a ABS pump which isnt covered in the warranty, which makes my big old thirsty barge look quite economical to run. Last month he spent £800 on tyres....

I know we can chat about anything in random, but threads about tea seem more appropriate than ones about cars to me in this forum.

I'd guess that the majority of people on this forum would rather see a thread in Random Banter about cars rather than tea, I know I certainly would.

I always used to fancy an X300 Jag, but couldn't bear the fuel economy of their 4.0 V8. Still, a handsome looking car.[/quote]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, MPG is pretty good considering the size, better than my TDI Discovery except for around town.

lovely looking car. If I had the cash to hand, I'd be snouting around for an XJ-R version with the supercharged straight 6 Smile

I used to have a 1983 xj6 in carnival red, what a car. It got used in an armed robbery a few days after i sold it though.

Currently filling a pot at work with cash between me and the boss for a mk 2 to restore.

This will more than likely turn out to be a marina or something but the dream is there.

Nice motor johnny, sure you will enjoy.
