Rule 38a.

You're a leg-end, Dave. It's been great and I hope you work your way through the Jaaaag range now.

Some amazing cars there! What a man (bar the tt ownership). Really looking forward to hearing what you think of the Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag range.
Either the red R8 or Homer for the best looking car there imo.
I will keep my eyes open for a Jonjo Shelvey look-a-like driving around by me in a Jag!
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Do some equity reduction on them and buy a Ferrari :)
There's no greater man maths than mortgages vs rental income vs car outlay :)



A triple garage is screaming out for a Ferrari too :)

Lol, I could man maths an Aventador if I wanted, but sadly I'm an accountant and sensible...

Emotional. Was weird seeing you in a Land Rover the other week.

I think Elmo and Homer were the best looking.

Look forward to your summary of all cars, and of the Jags to come too. There was an XF estate parked next to me yesterday, and it looked stunning.

Blow a little steam, consider it a wedding gift to yourself :)

I was in Lovetts last week looking at an aventador. I was had a drive of one not so long ago and it absolutely blew my mind.
You want to scare yourself shitless every time you drive and make an entrance into anywhere you go, an Aventador's the daddy for that..

Unfortunately, I'd need a continental industrial meltdown or a nuclear war to happen to be able to to make enough money on the Forex market to afford one of those :(

As others have said Dave - what an epic list! But how can the game be over when you've not had a B8 RS4, C7 RS6 or an RS7 yet?! :bigblink:

The ibis V10 was my personal favourite - just think white suits the R8's shape so well. Will be interested to read the write-ups if you get around to doing them, and will keep an eye out for your progress in the Jag game in the Adversaries section... :bowdown:
