rtbiscuit Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Excellent choice, Cheers Rich saw the production line for the xj in October with my engineering students. Impressive kit level Do you know if Husky still works there ? yes he does, but not linked with the XJ production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Well had a drive out for lunch today and first impressions are: It's big It's fairly nimble It turns in more sharply than the Merc Lots of toys including rear camera and tv The sound system is LOUD The massaging seats feel a bit weird I like the heated steering wheel It won't fit on the drive in the usual place (see photo below) - I have to park it where the Aston is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 you need a bigger driveway I'm gonna have to park it in the front drive lol ... trouble is it's on view there - either that or block the garage (which wifey wouldn't be pleased about) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock_Steady Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Not usually a fan of Jags but I have to say that does look really nice. Love the wheels. I must be getting older Is it just me or are those callipers tiny? Edited December 15, 2014 by Rock_Steady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 That looks great Makes my interior look somewhat from a previous era or two. Well I think it probably was ... I know a lot of the Bentley design engineers moved to JLR when the GTC was finished and took a bit of Bentley with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Saw one of these Jags today in the flesh whilst I was on my way home. Have to say it looked fantastic especially the rear lights which had like red side markers at the top corners. Had a real presence on the road & looked very modern.

ATTAK Z Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Dan are these tyres OEM, if not do you know what are ... these are on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I suspect they are the OEM tyres, as they have the J marking on them. I think you can also get Contis with the J rating too, although exactly what ones I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Looks the muts nuts Hugh. Always love a Jag. Had many even back to a MK10 when I was 17 bought for £20, and many MK2 / Daimler V8 and and a 4.2 E-Type convertible and a V12 Hard Top.. Then had at least 4 or 5 various iconic XJ6 and an XJR, So had a few Jags.... :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
