Would you have been able to AV-It like?

I was at the NEC when they launched the XJ220 ... Nice machine.

EDIT- Was the launch of the Mclaren .. XJ220 was there, No paint on it ..

It was dreamt up well before the Mondeo was!

I can't think of a car I'd like more than that.

Real shame the traffic never cleared up, I was following in Helen's saph and was just waiting for you two to tear off into the distance, bet it would have PROPERLY surprised him a ford escort being able to keep up with him.

Would have loved to have seen the outcome, genuinely not sure who would win but either way it wouldnt be by much!

When I used to live in Coventry at the time the XJ220 was new, I rarely used to go a week without seeing them hammering up and down the A45, they look awesome on the move and sound amazing.

This place is 2 minutes from me (and literally across the road from my work), and the family who owns it has one of these (along with a shitload of other expensive machinery) and they've owned it since new, and as it's such a popular place you occasionally get other XJ220's outside there.

There was someone else who had one round here when they first came out too. I also remember Nigel Mansell having one.
