Default XK8 on Fifth Gear

Great episode on Fifth Gear with them showing the xk8 as a great used car. Just thought I'll share that....

Shhhhhhh.....

Keep this quiet, guys. Information like this helps to implode the myth of Jaguars being lousy, unreliable cars. We want to perpetuate this myth to keep them extra-affordable going forward....

This is another nice clip on a used Jaguar... it's the XJ8 and it's worth viewing.

Nice, thanks! Gentlemen's Express indeed. Which makes the XKR the Gentlemen's Rocket.
