New car - Jaguar F-type V8

[Ali]

Sounds tremendous piggy boy!

A good choice, but I dread to think what it'll be worth next year...(best not think about that)

I've budgeted losing another £10k on it.


I hope...

Jaguar have really upped their game in the past 5 years, about time!

Lovely car that, the performance figures you quoted are mental, they're way faster than I thought tbh.

Beautifully styled car, but for some reason I don't associate it quite in the same league as the Aston/R8, but can totally understand your reasons behind it.

Obviously it sounds awesome, but as fussy as it sounds the pops & bangs are too frequent almost as if they're fake! Even with that in mind, I'm off to Auto trader for something v8!

Such a baller!

Lovely cars, I personally prefer the Coupe having been around both (working for JLR and a supplier).

Are you very tall though? or have family/friends that are? If you do, try not to have the seats all the way back, as they squeak against the trim behind the seats.

I think most on here would describe me as small....

I love these things. They are mega expensive though - 85k for a V8 one before options? Sod that. If I bought a V6 one though I'd always feel like I could have had the V8 but I'd "settled" almost.

Still, jealous as buggery. Enjoy it!

As would Laur.

As would Laur.

Odd your mrs said mine was massive.

Odd your mrs said mine was massive.

She was talking about your ego. And not the one in your pants.

Don't hate.

Depreciate.

I do carbon for these done a set of wing mirrors for one of my customers and designing a diffuser atm

 

[The Russian.]

Brilliant.

Same normal responses (tut)

Great car and get some proper pics up chap.

 

[Waitey]

Annoyingly I can't get a day fixed to pick it up. Only day I could have been free I'm now away for.

The dealer is getting pissy as they want it collecting before the 1st, which is understandable. I've told them I'll get it on my next free day of the 30th.... I hope.

How much for some side vents? I don't like the silver ones!

Ill go and collect it for you and drop it off if you like?

 

[Mr R.]

Can i come? I don't mind driving over to Kent and paying the toll charge.

Yeah course. Your not driving though :tongueout:

 

[Mr R.]

Yeah course. Your not driving though :tongueout:

Its ok, i wont have a drink.

 

[Munson]

Ballin'

I'm in the minority here in that these don't really appeal to me. But I can see why people love them. Great car and bags of character. Plus what an engine for top down summer motoring.

Flawless victory.

Struggling to find a day free to pick up your new V8 Jaguar.

That is a solid gold first world problem right there :smile:

 

[JD]

For fudge sakes, man - stop playing with pigs in China and pick the damn thing up.

 

[Waitey]

The saga continues.

I called Jag to say I'd be further delayed picking it up due to now my house sale stalling for the 4th time.

They then admit they are still waiting on the seat repair so luckily they were fine with the delay.

I'll be going to Hungary, Japan and Turkey this month, so I only have the 15th free to collect. I hope all will be sorted for it!

I can pick it up for you and look after it for a few weeks. Won't even drive it

 

[Waitey]

Collecting it on Friday when I get back from holiday....

6 weeks after leaving a deposit lol

 

[crazystu21]

Good choice! I work pretty much opposite the dealer and they have some nice stuff out front.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Looks great in red with the black roof. I like the wheels too.

Definitely change the side vents for carbon if you can or get them painted. Darker ones would look much better.

 

[Waitey]

I won't lie, with 48 hours left, I are excite.

 

[_Tom]

Lovely. Would you consider changing the wheels? I saw this vanquish at the local wheel place to me. Cant help but think these wheels would looks great.

 

[ColinG]

Gonna be epic! Bet you can hardly sleep! Nothing beats the feeling of new car day!! Let alone V8, drop top, machine gun exhaust'ed new car day!

 

[Gally]

Wow! Stunning with the roof down.

 

[Daz.]

I think the wheel are great as they are!

 

[_Tom]

I think the wheel are great as they are!

Don't get me wrong, the car is stunning regardless.
