On Road toy - What to buy ??
att:
I have been looking down that line myself.
I settled on a Jaguar XJR....The straight six Supercharged model.
The V8 is too unreliable.
You can mess around with these models without affecting relability.
Change pully`s on the Supercharger etc. :D
You can find good, low mileage, service history examples for between 5-7k.
Insurance is classic, quote for me was £260 ish.
They will do 30mpg on a run with a light foot!
I havn`t purchased one yet :roll: ........I can`t seem to justify 3 bikes and 3 cars......Just yet.
Worth a drive though.....They are like silk on a normal road, with a kick in the pants.....They also look so unassuming to other road users.
Just my 2pth.

4.2 V8
Giant-killing performance
2+2, but no auto option

You can't really call those leather bits in the back 'seats'. I know a bloke that had one and his ten year old daughter could only just manage to fit in the back. Beautiful car but it spent so much time at the dealer and back in blackpool he had to get rid.

Admittedly they are a bit small

Sounds like something built in Solihull :wink:

I also looked at the Porsche 928.
Late models 92-94.
Approx 400 BHP, trying to tie down a definate figure is a nightmare with all the macho sh1te that surrounds these things.
I concluded that they were too much money for bang per buck, but they do sound sweet and one of the few motors that actually do make the ground vibrate when on tickover :D
V8....MMMmmmmm.
Later Corvettes with suspension easily modified.....V8 again...Mmmm.
No, the Jag does have it for me......Unassuming, non-flash.
Go and drive lot`s of the things, get yer list worked out first though.....Lists only work for the head and it is your heart that buys these things :!:
On reflection, I think I have got it out of my system with research and test drives.... :?
