F-Type R on it's way to Hennessy
Karma.
No I haven't talked to them since they called and said the car arrived 2 weeks ago. Like I posted earlier they said it would probably be 3-4 weeks depending on how busy they were.
I'll try and remember to call them tomorrow and get you an update.
I just kind of assumed they had already stripped and sold most of the car by now, and were just going to send me a Hyundai genesis back when they're ready.

Dude. Unless you go German, this is normal for most sportscar companies.
If you've ever owned a Ferrari or Aston there are lots of niggles like this. Jaguar is not alone. There are a lot worse marques too when it comes to this kind of stuff. Personally I've owned a RR Evoque for 1 year (driven every day) and not one issue with it and people say RR's are unreliable blah blah blah..... My F-Type, only issue I've had is the ambient lighting not turning on and itll be fixed during my 1 year service in November. You have just been unlucky. Regarding Hennessey, I wish you luck. I hope you do not get burned and if they do a top tune others will consider them, including me so keep us posted.

If the F Type wasn't so appealing, JLR's quality with the Evoque would have turn me off British cars forever.
Currently in a Mercedes while I await an AWD F-Type...
I've had an Evoque (Dynamic) for 1.5 years. Not one issue. Just had to replace the coolant at one point which the dealership did for me.
The Evoque has glowing reviews and I meet many very happy owners with Evopques and the new Sport here in SF.
Your bad experience is not indicative of RR quality. Just because people say things doesn't make them true.

Car's done. Waiting on dyno videos and info to share. I'll post everything here, and probably in a new thread too since this one is now about something called an evouqe. Whatever the hell that is.

I'm still new to the Jaguar scene but back in my BMW days (owned 3 of them and the last being an E92 M3) I used to deal with guys like Active Autoworks, Vorsteiner, Rogue Engineering and of course, Dinan.
Dinan was by far the most expensive but their parts were always spot on in quality and finish and most importantly, they offered warranty protection right through BMW's network of dealerships.
Is Hennessy protected through Jaguar warranty?

Lol yeah, they said they might not let that company/guy pick up anymore. They just put the job on like a broker site and different companies can take the job if they meet the requirements, ie covered trailer and stuff.

They're really the best in the business (endorsed and used by Jay Leno, among other notables). I would see about using them to take your cat back home.
