Mk X/420G  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)


but being serious ....... it'd have to be the XJ R. The S types have never really done it for me like the XJ's have.  ;)  ;)  ;)

It'd have to be an X350 (2003-2007) XJ. I've driven both the 2.7 TDVI and 4.2 V8, and they're both great. Ideally I'd like a Daimler Super Eight, it's an XJ badged as a Daimler with nice extra's. The queen drives one  :y

Never really been a fan - although I could be persuaded to pamper an XF 3ltr diesel should someone insist :y :y

My son deals in cars and had a Daimler Super Eight last year. Fantastic car all round, unbelievably fast with fantastic handling and every extra including active cruise control, which can be unnerving until you get used to it.
The car was 3 years old but had been stolen and recovered (carjacked) my son paid £11k for it. The original owner paid £65k!
I would love to own one but the running costs are astronomical.

Not worried about that, the mrs. drives the cars I buy, I drive the vans  ;D On the odd occation I do drive the car I make sure there is a lot of fuel in there so I don't have to fill up  ;D

Yeah, nice one, but it's not just the fuel costs, it's everything else with the supercharged cars. Group 20 insurance, specialist servicing, part prices, tyres and a hell of lot of toys to go wrong. That's why they are so cheap.

i do like the XJ's love the R version but when it comes to reality i would have to get the diesel. XJ will be cheaper than the XF, think thats going to hold its value better.

First of the XJ-Rs, early 90s, jet black, smoked wood / leather (of course) interior. Paint the chrome body-colour, and a copy of Drug Dealer Monthly on the back seat.

I dont know if there's a car anywhere that looks 'badder' mmmmmmmm...
