Finally got the new Jaaaag home, lovely to drive...






After a bit of home made spit and polish....(warps the belly into fatness)








Really really happy with this car, it's better than I imagined and so far (touch wood) apart from the rear subs not working it's in mint condition and pretty much flawless in every way, top example, chuffed to bits with it, massive smiles when driving down the road it's so smooth. People with the old XJ's that don't like the shape of this one all I'd say is drive one and them issues will soon go away it's leaps and bound on the older XJ's in every way.

 

Good luck with the new car, and I agree with your comments. Our first Jag was a 2001 XJ8, and while we loved the classic looks, and comfortable ride, the front end geometry was awful, and the car drove like a truck. Jaguar did update it, around 2005-2006, however, and it was a much improved car. The latest series, the 2010-present cars, are excellent drivers.

 

L80ous - looking really good, so glad you now have it as the suspense must have been soul destroying??

She looks a beauty mate, well pleased for you.

Nice colour combo and nice shine too, although I'm sure you'll make it even better.

No doubt once you've spent a little time with her we'll hear more and or any plans for mods / improvements etc

Best
Jim

 

Is that the old finger through the fly trick?

 

congrats! lovely car

 

Thanks every-one and JamesTX your the first one to spot it out of this and the UK Jag forum. :-)

 

Congrats, Bud. The car looks pretty hot

 

Beee uuuu tiiii fullllll

 

Lol spotted it ages ago, so childish, but so so funny too
I had a good look the first time and laughed my socks off then too

 

Congratulations! I used to look at the new XJ's and think that I would never, ever own one, but after awhile I began to appreciate it's looks and after driving one I was hooked. I sold the 2008 XJ8 today and the search now begins.

 

Haha might guess Jim you'd instantly be looking in that area of my anatomy

 

Exciting times, I didn't like the X351 when it came out swore to stay with the classic shape only. One day last year I decided to drive one see what all the fuss is about and I instantly fell in love the drive was so nice, the build quality and toys better in every-way. I then kept my eye on them on the road the front end looks grew on me straight away, love the aggressive looks, now I've been checking it out on my drive the flared rear arches really give it a "race car" look.
Very very pleased with my example so far, it took some finding a lot of the interior colors I'm not keen on.

Let us know how you get on with your search.

 

Nice!
