probably because it appears to be an XJ8L and not just the standard 8.

But maybe it's because anyone with 2 legs and feet larger than a size 9 can barely work the pedals thus making it a total ***** to drive at all.

I used to drive a '60s Mercedes S-Class and didn't have much trouble; I've gotten used to driving rather large cars.

The list of cars I would like to own/drive is pretty long. I am leaning towards getting either a 550 or GT40 replica next. Their is also a company the still makes the Jag D Type so that's up there as well. Probably gonna be 4 more years before I purchase any car over 100 grand though.

I may very soon purchase a 70-72 jaguar XJ6 since I don't have a 4 seat car. I like the idea of having at least one saloon car. I always like the classic jaguar style and don't see any current saloon car that looks good from any angle.

Anyone else noticed all the current saloon cars look terrible from the back?

These aren't exactly my dream cars but I'm pretty happy with these two at the moment. To achieve dream car status, I'd replace the one on the left with maybe a Maser Quattroporte, and the one on the right with maybe a Scuderia.

I know pretty much SFA about cars, but I've always liked muscle cars, and 66 GTOs get me hot:

A while ago, I went down to my grandfather's neighbor who had bought my mom's old (burnt orange

) Mustang, a '68 or '69 IIRC that he still had from many moons ago, but the old sonofabitch wouldn't sell.

Dreamcar at the moment is an Audi S4 Avant (latest model). Since my employer doesn't want me to lease one I'm considering going for his smaller (and less powerfull) brother: Audi A3 sportback.

That's a picture of an R34 GT-R Nür Spec.

1996 would be an R33, which looks like this in GT-R form:

Nice! the 355 needs a challenge grill though.

Current ride is a 02 C-class Amg'd out but id be happy with a Aston V8 Vantage or a Ferrari 355B six speed. One day soon!
