Kind of liked the trash talk, but 1) it's rather stupid to post something like this on site of fellow Jag lovers, and 2) I see no evidence of anything of what you claim to possess.

Oh, how I pity you, you mite of a human, sitting there in silence, with no engine to rev. How you must want for power, that which I possess. The power to irritate everyone within a two-mile radius. This sound that emanates from my swift movement, this amplified mechanical sputtering, exclaims to all my undisputed vigor.
Cast all of your attention in my direction and recognize my ironclad manliness, that which is made clear by my ability to have my car’s muffler removed. Were you contemplating the beauty of the mountains? Perhaps you may have been admiring the nimble rhythm of a butterfly’s wings? Well, now you can consider the din of this machine that I own and how it is a manifestation of my infinite potency.Throughout the ages, philosophers have pondered immortality. How might we outlast the corporeal limits of human frailty? Friend, I have tasted that ambrosia. That nectar of everlasting youth and strength. It is forcing every living creature in your neighborhood to be aware, if only for thirty seconds, that I am male and I can drive twenty miles over the speed limit.

My need to awaken you at 3 AM on a Tuesday is in no way a reflection of a gaping emptiness deep within the core of my being. I am definitely not running from the precarity and meaninglessness of existence that creeps along the edges of my consciousness. The nebulousness of identity and all its components — gender, age, sexuality, status — are not haunting me in my desperate need to cling to something that feels real and certain. My car goes fast and zooms so loud. And it’s red! What could be a more archetypal affirmation of my permanence in this universe?

And now, like a child steering his Hot Wheels on a plastic track, I will veer away and bid you adieu, leaving you in your effeminate and pathetic quietude. Until next time, you paltry and muted mollusk. We will meet again when I pierce your soft underbelly with the penetrating force of my motor’s noise. Well, it’s almost mine anyway. Only 27 payments left. I had to take out a bigger loan since my premiums are so high on account of my red car."

Sound (double entendre intended) familiar?

Default Roar

The bonnet of

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...ign=2021-05-13

might induce the same reaction, even stationary.

And when run hard, an XK or an E-type matches any Harley’s clatter.

Glad to hear of an F-type continuing the tradition.

And I too would encourage some audio clips of exciting Jaguar roars.

Ah.. the Joys of a free society. Freedom isnt always free or quiet. The right to annoy or be annoyed. In the USA only the rich can live in peace and quiet with their homes far and wide a top distant hills or high rises. I'd support a German style TUV, here in the USA... that's more reasonable to me than forcing everyone to buy electrics.

At least when I arrive at my destination in my insignificant, horribly plebeian transport, an '03 VDP, I'll be rested and, better yet, able to hear conversations at normal volumes.

Old mate Susie would **** herself laughing at a bunch of high wealth individuals having an apoplexy at her article, which to be honest was probably more aimed at 25 year olds with a fart box stuck on the back of their WRX. The righteous indignation goes to prove her point, doesnt it?

Well i gotta say, I resemble the comment - she understands me. If only I was single. And attractive.

He was polite, but we were obviously disturbing the wealthy.
