Title: Our weekend in a jag
Post by: vtrdaz on February 26, 2006, 23:12:03

As my missus works for jaguar , she thought it rude not to borrow a new XK convertible test car for the weekend - what a car!
We had it up in the lakes all weekend (tis where the missus is from) , so we used it as an excuse to show off to her family!

Tech bit:
4.2l V8 370hp - normally aspirated
Power hood
Adaptive cruise control
Adaptive suspension
Amazing sat nav
intelligent headlamps (turn with the wheel)
and a massive amount of other bits - shame about the interior (looks to me like it could be an interior for the yanks!)

intelligent headlamps (turn with the wheel)

Citereon (spelt right?) did that many many many years ago, all mechanical and therefore not prone to failure, too.  :wink:

yeah looks nice now... though we followed a C reg XJ with smoked rear lights to Tesco today. Kind of reminded me why I cut one up to put the best bit in my IIa (The 4.2 Engine)

give it a couple of years.. :lol:

yes i know they did - but to me they are an absolute revelation - it even turns on a small spot when you go round tight corners - now thats smart :lol:
