age is just a number though mate!

Just to add that Vik and I live in the same wee village and I drove past her car the other week and slowed down to have a good look. It's in absolutely cracking condition…well worth travelling to have a look at

Well I'm an old man at heart I guess….which has always helped me in business

I agree on the 0-60 time, hence the reason I didn't discount the XK as too slow or "not any faster" than the Zed I've not really driven any other powerful cars so the numbers don't mean too much to me anyway!

So, I'm always thinking ahead and although I've had my Zed less than a year (and love it) I'll probably be looking for something new in the next year or two. I absolutely love the look of the 06+ Jag XK...however, in terms of power it's roughly the same as the Zed (300bhp)..and has the same 0-60 time. However, while the Zed produces 260lbs/ft of torque, the XK produces 310. I guess what I'm wondering is, does the XK really feel any faster than Zeds? Also, anyone who's driven one, how did you find it?

Welcome along mate! Your Zed can't be a "he" though!

What I would say mate is, think carefully about whether sales is right for you. I did a sales focused role within Financial Services before moving in to training, and while I was very good at it, I did find it stressful. I know some people who are car salesmen and they say they're under a lot of pressure to perform. However, work hard and the rewards will definitely be there!

I feel totally the same to be honest. For my next car I think I may look at a slightly older Jag XKR (Supercharged), seem to be able to get 06's with decent mileages for around 23k

mmm…that's pretty cool actually

I often use 5th at 30….if you want to accelerate there's still plenty of pull. This actually an interesting thread though, never thought there'd be such varied opinions

Welcome mate...looks like a nice example! I got mine when I was 20 and got insured ok through admiral...anyway glad you got it sorted!

Looking for some clear reflectors. Don't mind if OEM or not as long as they're decent quality - I'll be using them to make LED sidemarkers. Tried Tarmac but out of stock

How come?

Haha noticed that! Hypocrite...he wasn't a fan

Just read your reply Zugara, cheers for the detailed guide - much appreciated I'm going to give this a bash asap

Any pics BulletMagnet?

Cheers CS

Does it matter that my Zed is a facelift version (07) and his isn't?

Hmmm…done a search but can't seem to find the one!

Cheers for the advice guys

Yeah I'll have to check…could be totally wrong but I think he said it's done about 20k

So a guy I know is looking to sell his Zed and is going to take it back to standard. He's got a Cobra exhaust system (resonated). Don't know how many miles it's done, mines done 50k Anyway, if I was to offer to swap my exhaust for his how much dosh should I be looking to give on top of my system?

Have you any pics? Tried looking in your album but the images aren't appearing

Ahh got you. I wouldn't fancy wrapping it myself so have sent some enquiries to find out how much it would be to have it done professionally

Nice mate...you've misspelt "preparation" though on your list of services Edit: sorry just saw it's been pointed out
