Good looking lineup. Of course, I am somewhat partial to the Jag :-)

 

Too bad the UK law requires you to destroy the beauty of the front end with a license tag. Not so across the pond in the sunny state of Joja (phonetic spelling), where is is legal to go tagless up front!

 

Nice!

 

The porsche looks nice ,it's not a standard 911 either , cool car

 

and911;

Sweet!!

That should be your signature photo.

Have always thought silver was the only color for 911's...is that a C4, a GT3 or a custom spoiler on the back? Can't quite see the edge of the spoiler.

Which does the wife prefer?

And oh yeah when the XKR starts sliding remember to get out of the gas, steer into the slide and not into the gas and away from the slide like you have to in the 911.

Easy to get crosswise with your 'Big Booty' 911 reflexes in the XKR.

enjoy and fly low.

SS;

I love the 'Gun Metal Grey' /Titanium color on the XFR and am a recent convert to that color....sadly they seem to be even rarer than the Zircon Blue I bought because I couldn't find one in the Grey. But I like how 'purposeful' they look.

Have to agree with you about single plates....still get strange looks about my one New Mexico plate over here...lots of pointing at the front and the occasional pointed question from the Gendarmes....who then decide the whole thing is too much trouble for them.

I just checked and we have a lot more company than I thought in the one plate derby. Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, not to mention Puerto Rico US Virgin Islands and Guam all have just one license plate.

Cheers JJ

 

Did you get the Vortex XKR-S wheels after sales? How much and from where?

I have the 20" Sentas, but those look much better and sportier.

 

Great pictures. Reminds me of why I have an XK on my "bucket list". The front, front 3/4 and profile views of the K cars is magnificent.

The rear 3/4 view of the K coupes is IMHO a bit "Kardashian". Well I suppose that's not all bad. Down big fellow.
