V6 + V12

[Pep]

For the past couple of weeks I've been searching and test driving a few cars, mainly looking back to an M3, as I miss the power and how well they drive. The Clio doesn't move much and is a lot of cash to have tied up after just buying my first house....

But then we have some sun and I clean it again and have a nice sunny drive and I forget M3's even exist!

Rolled the jag out to run it for a bit! Will be MOT'd soon and prepped for a little road trip to the lakes in may

So many cylinders!

Swap my r27 for the vee?











...please.

bloody lovely

M3 just are not special imo

Too common, the v6 will hold/increase in value an m3 wont again imo

 

[Mr R.]

Jag. [emoji7]

I'm look forward to your road trip bud.

It's wrong wheel drive for me mate I'm afraid….! Although the colour is ok!

Sorry mate but you're wrong, M3's are hugely special, proper good all round car.
The problem is when I'm not driving the V6 I'm constantly looking to sell up and move onto something else, but as soon as I start it the love returns! It's just a shame I can't use it as much as I want to. Between keeping the mileage down, not risking the damage and not wanting to leave it anywhere it's a difficult car to use.

Thanks mate…I'm looking forward to getting it out properly! Found a very good specialist so it will get a little bit of pampering this year to keep it tip top.

 

[Mr R.]

Good news Joe, enjoy it mate.

.

Drive it backwards, use it as a daily, px it for an m3... I don't care I just really want a vee lol!

 

[Pep]

Feel free to make me an offer!

 

[Knuckles]

Oh god don't tempt me, were you the one who had the b5 s4 a year or so ago?

 

[Pep]

No mate never had an Audi….Focus RS, Boxster S & M3 before/during this.

 

[Poopensharten]

Very nice, Joe!

I'm not much of a Jag fan but i love that - your old fella would be delighted to know you've kept it in good order!

 

[Ben]

Let me know when you're off out on the road trip mate, be good to catch up and have a drive out. BTW both cars look stunning.

[Aaronexx]

I one day wish to have a clio like that, looks sick mate!

 

[Mr R.]

Oh dear.

 

[Aaronexx]

Oh dear.

[Pep]

Jag passed the MOT today with no advisories, just need to tinker a bit and it's ready for some summer miles.
Clio will definitely be going...

 

[Mr R.]

I wish I lived closer mate, id love to work on the jag.

 

[Pep]

It's only a couple of hours drive!

Managed to average 7mpg today on the way to work…….

 

[Tez.]

If the clio goes . Get a F-Type !

 

[Pep]

Bit of a price difference between them mate…! Will be going to something 2 seater and convertible though I think.

 

[Lawro]

Lovely as usual Joe.. Such a soft spot for the jag!

 

[Mr Burns]

Looking great, Joe. Baller-spec driveway as always!

 

[James Mk1]

Thanks mate, got a few:

Gearknob is a custom one off in the world item that the Jag dealership had made for my Dad as I think this was his 4th or 5th Jag from them, which is a nice touch.

 

[James Mk1]

That looks like a really nice place to be on a long drive/holiday away. That's interesting about the gearknob, what's special/different about it?

 

[Pep]

Standard one is like this:

Will do mate, first weekend in May is the plan, if the weather is nice.
Will be going up and stopping just outside Carlisle but will be having a good tour of the lakes before then.
