Wild, aha ...

The current albums in my CD changer are

1. Xandria - Kill the Sun
2. Scorpions - Sting in the Tail
3. Sirenia - The 13th floor
4. Dio - Master of the Moon
5. Theatre of Tragedy - Forever is the World
6. Heaven and Hell (actually this is Black Sabbath in "disguise") - The Devil You Know

So currently it's a mix of Gothic/Symphonic Metal and some firm Hard Rock. Until I feel the desire to load another set of albums.

Yes, I'm an ol' Metalhead. It all started in my early youth with Status Quo, Scorpions, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and the likes. I also strongly like the classic rock mainly of the 70s and 80s - like Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Genesis, CCR, ZZ Top, to name a few.

 

I can see a pattern here-V8 engines & heavy rock music! The two go together I think

I have various rock/metal/indie albums from Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, The Cult, The Mission, Sisters of Mercy etc.

Then there's Wagner's Ring cycle-my version is by the Berlin Philharmonic with the late Herbert Von Karajan.

Beethoven's 9th Choral symphony...

Elgar's 'Pomp & Circumstance/Land of Hope & Glory' (very suitable for the Bentley!)

 

They do!

I don't know about the Bentley (yet ) but the XJ8 definitely is a fine environment for, I think, virtually any kind of music. In any case it is for firm rock music, operas and classical symphonies. And though it's not my cup of tea I guess that Jazz and Blues go very well too. The only kind of music I can NOT connect to the XJ is Rap and HipHop.

 

ummm ..

motown, disco, house and ....... classic country

anyone have a copy of "zing went the strings of my heart"?

 

I cannot connect to Rap & Hip-Hop under any circumstances

The Bentley plays it's own music from the deeper rumble of the big V8-it growls like a big dog whereas the Jag purrs like a very contented cat

 

Variety is the spice of life

I think the Jag is suitable for all types of music but in the Bentley I can't listen to anything except the heavy stuff-usually hard rock or grand opera, when I'm not listening to the deep V8 rumbling growl on hard acceleration!

 

My song of the day is :Player-baby come back

The classics CD currently in my car contains

1 Eagles-One of these nights
2 Bad English-Time stood still
3 Don Henley -Boys of summer
4 Player -Baby come back
5 Pink Floyd -High hopes
6 Snowy White -Bird of paradise
7 The Cars-Drive
8 John Wait-Missing you
9 Cutting Crew- I just died
10 Robert Plant -Ship of fools

I know a bit cheesy but,
No hard rock music ,it can scare of the lady,s...

 

Right on Plums:

 

we use an ipod connection so we have all the music in 1 place, I like Eagles, Steely Dan, Elvis, Motown, Grand Funk Railroad, Pink Floyd, wife likes Latin, Brazilian, Celine Dion, Yanni.

We never seem to have the ipod when we both are in the car. !!

 

hi steve here yes quite a few boy racers think its just another old timers jag.what a shock when it shows them a clean pair of heals,2002 jaguar xjr,

 

Had a fairly recent M3 BM try and run me last week. We both mildly hit it right off the line then I heard him give it the berries so I obliged and left him for dead. Was rather surprised but gave the kitty a nice pat on the bonnet when I got home and stowed her in the garage

 

It was closer to this version:


But it was an all instrumental EP club mix released only to DJ's. There was also the title song from a Fried Green Tomatoes album. Both will put you into "take no prisoners" mode from the opening bars.

 

They must be smarter around here. M3's don't even try. Strangely enough, it's idiots in SUV's and mini-vans wanting to burn up their brakes at the next red light. But they don't count because they'll even race a bike courier for position.

 

Recently a BMW M3 tried me on an otherwise empty freeway at around 5 AM. Pulled away from him pretty well all the way up to maybe 125 MPH-ish before he just dropped back. He avoided driving anywhere near me after that.
At lights its usually 3 and 5 series BMWs and Mustangs. They really underestimate what they're dealing with. Also had a late 90's looking Suburban trying to egg me on on a higher speed limit road... wasn't worth the risk of a ticket to entertain him.

 

I don't even bother acknowledging the plebs anymore....after blowing away a few locals...they tend to keep there distance.
Occassionally you will get a local wally sidle up beside you, give a sideways glance and start to revv as the light turns green....I just plant the boot long enough to raise the nose and let off while they go screaming down the road to be either pinged by a red light camera or hauled over by a Blue Meany....are such fun without really trying....sooooo undignified ;o)
Age and rat cunning will always win out over youthful exhuberance ;o)=)

 

B.B. King and Eric Clapton, Ridin' with the King ! ;^) No drag racing for my baby !

 

Or 0-100 in 10.5 seconds in my case

I've left even vettes sucking my exhaust just across the intersection.

With the lower pulley and other mods, I'm getting a full 18 psi of boost before crossing the intersection! This is the fastest "XJ8" on the planet

 

Little race a had a while back with a fellow Impreza STI owner bragging his mod's and telling my how much faster it would be over my Jaaaag.


He was so confident he got his missis to record it, must admit it was close.......for about 2 seconds, he tried so hard, he blew it up.

 

But HE had a wing!?? Doesn't that mean his car is faster?
