Default A new car to my collection!..(For the petrol heads)

Jaguar XKR 4.0 V8 supercharger..375BHP/390FT/LB ..goes nice with the Ferrari 348tb,Mercedes E55 AMG (you can see it in the picture!!),Ducati 916sp,Honda NSR250sp...oh and not forgetting the workhorse Transit!




These jags are very pretty,with sport mode on you get harder supension so dont handle half bad for a big 2+2 cruiser...very quick with 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and a delimited 187mph top speed alledgedly ..BUT doesnt feel as quick as the Merc once you are up and running...the jag has far better lower gear grip!

Wooo look at me and my collection of cars and bikes !!!!!!!!!!!


Am sure there are plenty of folks with bigger and better cars than you have mate and they dont feel the need to try and brag about them on here.

So you have a Ferrari, big deal

You have a Merc, big deal

You have a Ducati, big deal

Blah blah blah whatever!!!

Personally I prefer XJRs, but they both cool.

If I had the cash to buy these, id prob just buy one really mega car tho, rather than a variety of bargain supercars.

Didnt you once say

People only own saphs and 3 doors because they cant afford an Escos ?

So by your logic then people who own XJRs cant afford an Aston DB7/9 etc







Only joking Phil , looks mint
