here's mine on the right
just over 700bhp between them must getting round to selling the one on the left now that the gearbox is fixed [attachment=40530:pair.jpg] |
Thought the passat only conjured 270hp so the Jag must be something special
Is it any good? I used to work next to a place called Peatman & Cox, they made a few quid breaking old XJs back in the day |

Yes, better than you'd think, very good balance between comfort and speed, plenty of toys. Subtle with a big stick. Auto. Blower. I like |
An old landlord of mine had one when I had just graduated. It had presence, subtle but looked the part. Always wondered what they'd be like to drive
One thing modern BMs lack is comfort :) |

Massive fan of both of those cars, Gad.
If I didn't have a 120 mile round trip to work every day, I would spend my motoring days cycling through motoring curiosities (I mean that in the nicest possible sense!) |

I wouldn't do it in a decent car anyway these days when I have treks to make I invariably hire something or get the train there are lots of curiosities (IKWYM by that) to cycle through and although I've had a few, there are plenty more to try |
Heard an R recently, or at least it had an R badge. Astonishingly ugly thing, but I think it may have had an aftermarket exhaust as it was pretty loud. Sounded pretty similar to the C63 AMG merc actually. Very nice noise.

Definitely the jag for me out of the two, is it the same engine that is in the Xk8R?

you'd probably be surprised by the shove of the W8 - it's very quick, especially once rolling, traction is obviously exceptional, whereas you get a chirrup from the Jag despite the electrickery and the bigger back tyres |
