Default had a play with a 4.2 jag today :)

took the cos out for a run today, and just cruising overtook a jaguar it was an x## im not sure what last 2 letters were and said 4.2 and was 56 reg. anyways sat right on my arse flashing so we had a play and needless to say he looked a fool tbh. it was well of the pace.

it looked a bit like an aston martin front end. anyone know which model it might of been ? i would guess it wernt much more than 300 hp.

seems to happen alot in a cossie, maybe they assume there still all just 204 hp

If it says 4.2 it will be an XK. 300BHP

The XKR is essentially the same car, but supercharged 420BHP

probably only an xk8 rather than the supercharged xkr. the 5.0 engine is much better. even though he was slower than you, i would rather have his car but then i am getting old
