Contractormobile for hard times?

Looks like AtW has bought himself a new car.

Yep, very nice (although it's an Audi). Thing is with really fast saloons is I need to know whether it's been thrashed a lot, so I'll probably call in the ANWB (AA equivalent) to inspect the car before buying it.

If it's a large Audi, it would have spent half its life 2 inches from the bumper of the car in front at about 90mph.

It's an Audi engineered Lamborghini engine, so 100k would hardly stress it.

The Jag is supercharged, but it's not a machine to put on its door handles, so I expect it to be fine at that mileage.

Love a jaaaaaaaaag

Tis an interesting car.

I'd probably grab an Audi S8 for similar money and bag an extra 50bhp too.

Jaguar Xj-R 4.2 V8 Supercharged Automaat/Ful - occasion

Going to take a look at this tomorrow, so flame away!

Just wondering what 395 horsepower feels like.

(and no, I don't play golf or bowls)

My mates just bought an XK-RS its extremely nice but Not as well built as an SL imo.

You can ask the service & repair department at Jaguar. You'll be practically living there.

We'll see; I've heard they have problems in the first year or so and after that it's OK, but who knows?

Get yourself a 1997 318i.

I had a 99 318i some years ago; very good it was too.

You're turning into DA.

I know the fuel will cost a few bob, but if I'm going to pay a tulipload in fuel tax, I want to enjoy it.
