Default 2006 Jaguar XJR

I picked this up last winter. Red, Black interior,19" rims with 255-45''s on em, loaded of course, less the fold down tables and power tilt rear seats. 82000 kms Documented (bout 50k miles for you heathens south of the 49th ) and....Supercharged. Would love to have the 550hp the new ones have, but 400 sure is sweet. THIS is the car i was looking for when i bought the X-fire 3 years ago. Loaded luxury performance sedan. It does everything I want it to and effortlessly at that. It's the new 350 all aluminium body style, and there seems to be no mention of the dreaded engine and transmission problems of the early 2000's. BUT.....its not FUN. My 04 Limited is FUN. I mean the Jag certainly is FUN when the blower kicks in, but its not the cornering 2 seat low to the ground stickshift FUN. And the Jag will never have someone come up to me in the gas station (as happened recently) and say as he walks by "I don't even know what that is". I feel fortunate to have them both, would love to keep them both a long time, but i think if i were to give one up i would probably keep the X-fire. Its just too cool a car. A little underpowered, but IMHO a very underrated drivers car. Maybe i'll change my mind if i'm too old to get in and out of one

2004 SSB 6spd Coupe......Still loving it! and the Jag
