Default I love my STR!

I love my STR.

She is a 2005 with 82k on the clock. I should have held out and found on with a little less miles on her, but I like the 2005 updates and she has my favorite color of interior.

It's just so wrong for a "civilized" Jaguar to make such angry noises from the supercharger.

The other day a gentleman on a Harley got served a big slice of humble pie when this 4000 lb cream puff blew his doors off.

I'm glad you are enjoying it. Hopefully I'll be enjoying my own Jaguar soon!

I agree with you 100 %, Spinall4. I too am pretty new to owning an STR (also 2005) and I still can't believe how much I enjoy it. One minute cruising and civilised, the next there are an awful lot of other drivers in the rear view mirror and disappearing quickly. Great fun.

I bet my Harley would smoke it. LOL. And by Harley I mean my Buells. They were part of Harley at one time.
My one does 4 sec 0-60 and 12 sec 1/4 miles and thats the slow one.

Vinyl & Rubber Dressing, 8 Ounces - Cleaners - Wheels & Tires - Car Care - Griot's Garage

This place has awesome rubber cleaner and conditioner. When you get your new rubber parts put this stuff on it and it will keep the rubber new and supple. I use it in all my cars and that small bottle went like four years. Griots is a little more expensive than your basic Walmart stuff but every thing I have ordered from them has been top notch.
