I love seeing these on the motorways. When the driver sees me in the wife's now fairly battered M-reg Jag, they do like to have a go.Originally posted by DaveB View PostJaguar X-Type 2.2D S
Sometimes I just drive alongside while they are going flat out them looking straight ahead pretending I haven't seen them, matching them exactly for speed. As they start to die off is when I kick down.
Diesel 'Jaguars' indeed. Overweight, underpowered POS rubbish.

It's based on the prevoius model mondy too, so the mondeo would be a better choice than the jag in some waysOriginally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostAgreed, just a tarted up Mondeo. Avoid like the plague IMO.Comment
