I just wanted to share these pics with you guys. They're shot with Minolta X700, Fujifilm iso400, 50mm f1.7.

I gotta say, I love this car more and more each day.

Beautiful car, nice pics. Lucky you with the manual trans. Love my XJ6 too. These are just great cars.

 

Wow "film".... going old-school, just like the car

BTW, I like those wheels. I don't recall seeing them before.

Yeah, going old school

These are not quite common I've noticed, but not my favourite ones thou.

Nice. Just wondering what the difference in driving is between the manual and automatic from anyone that has driven both. I think that the automatic is particularly suited to this car.

 

I've driven the auto just briefly and one thing that i can say for certain is that these are completely different cars. Maybe it just takes time to get used to the auto trans but it seemed very sluggish and shifting at weird spots to me. On the other hand the manual can be kinda exhausting in nose to tail city traffic and isn't far as refined as the auto. It is sort of heavy, the clutch is quite unforgiving and you have to be sure you're in a gear when you release it Also the clutch can spin wheels in 3rd when dropped abruptly at speed But i genuinely love it. It makes the car feel like some sort of a warplane which you have to wrestle at times a bit. Wouldn't ever trade for an auto. I'd eveb rather go for 3.2 manual then 4.0 auto if i had to choose.
