Default Iron Maiden - Nicko McBrain XKR-S

I am not sure if this was posted before, but here goes:

Nicko McBrain is the Drummer of Iron Maiden - - one of my all time favorite bands!

It makes me feel very proud that we share the same taste in cars!!

I never knew this and only stumbled on the article now.

Although I own an XKR, I absolutely love the styling tweaks to the XKR-S!

Apparently this is the very first car he bought himself that was brand new and not pre-owned! Awesome taste in cars. Exactly what bad-asses are supposed to drive!

I went to his restaurant in South Florida a while back. Had no idea he was a Jag enthusiast! He does rock shows and stuff once in a while at his restaurant. I’ll see if I can talk Jags with him.

I’ve been to that same line at the Jag factory. Pretty cool they did that custom metallic FRB paint for him.

He is a well known Jag fan. Jaguar made him this amazing XJ6:

That car is amazing except for the Borrani's. Hate wire wheels, but I doubt he is the one cleaning the car.

Celebrities of ANY sort don't do a bit for me. I've met many by chance out in The World; some were cool and some were total jerks. I'll still judge a person on their personal merits, not how the appear when On-the-Job.

That XJ6 is amazing.

I'm not sure how the red would hold up to regular use, but it sure looks nice in a show room.

Something similar but with Caramel would be more to my personal style.
