[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

 I love the shade of blue.

Similar to what Mark DTM has just bought, I think.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Nice!    I thought they'd sent a Fiesta Diesel. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Nice!    I thought they'd sent a Fiesta Diesel. 

This very car is up for sale at Jaguar Watford for the paltry sum of £39950. Nothing to a man of your means, Sir Tig.

[STEMO]

Mark has bought a black, go faster one.

Bit of a gay colour

I didn’t like to say. I hope it doesn’t clash with his cravat.

Caesium blue....I think.Could be wrong though.

A man of your means should be able to afford a decent gardener M'lud.   

Look at all those leaves!    Sack the lazy bastid!

And now that his orangery has been cleared away, plenty of room for another jag out there. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

To be fair it's quite a nice car to drive.

It has an impressive amount of low down torque but in line with every diesel car I've driven it runs out of revs just when it should be 'coming on cam'

Bit like sex without a climax really.

The ladies like a bit of low down torque and staying power M'lud. 

Maybe your all revs and no action?

Range not so good either diesels have better range as well 

[TheBoy]

Is it the proper diesel, in V6 formation, and around 300bhp?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is it the proper diesel, in V6 formation, and around 300bhp?

I've just looked at the specification.

300 BHP and a faintly ridiculous 516 lb ft of twist

I thought it felt quite nippy.

.......my XFR has only 461 lb ft of torque. .........but 503 BHP.

[STEMO]

It really doesn’t matter how many bhp’s or torques it has, there is nowhere to use them in this country. My 2.0 derv astra is as fast as I could possibly need. Did a naughty overtake today on a 60mph single carriageway and was doing 90 before I knew it. The motorways are full of 50mph speed limits and variable speed limits and stupid, ignorant drivers. You just can’t do any more than 90-95 without seriously threatening your existence.
To use Lord Opti’s parlance, it’s no good having a 15 inch dick when all the women have 12 inch fannies. The extra 3 inches are just no use. 


Apart from that, having a swanky, luxurious car is very nice and I would love a jag. But all this old school top trumps attitude might be good down the pub, or on a car forum, but is useless in real life.


And it’s days are definitely numbered
