Jaguar XK 4.2 indepth!

[TT]

Another indepth and this was quite a surprising one since I basically walked in a Jaguar dealership and some days later I was handed the key of a shiny new XK and was able to go on a testdrive all alone with no dealer. Really weird!

And really nice car I must say. Nice to take pics of it and a pleasure to drive! I'm gonna post the complete review in the correct section in a while ;)

Bring on the pics

Anyways, very nice pics as usual TT, I've seen a couple of these in person now, and they are quite nice, and sound decent as well. 8)

Good job with the photos TT. Since you are the acknowledged snapper in Switzerland, the wise dealers know that giving the car over to you is a cheap form of advertising :)

The only issue I have is with the car - it looks DULL with a frikkin Mondeo snout ... yuck!

[TopGearNL]

Very lucky man you TT

I can just see the Ferrari dealership handing you the keys to an Enzo :wink:

Thanks!! Oh and photo of the month is certainly included in this photoshoot :!:

[TNT]

^^ and i bet you were looking for a M5 fighter weren't you...... Jags are cruisers, highspeed ones at that. they are quick, not fast.

Thanks Matteo, another very nice indepth and I like the way it happened !! I will make a visit to my Jaguar's dealer today :wink: But I am sure your reputation and your photobook made the deal :good:

[salegosse]

When are you gonna make Supercar's indepth ? :mrgreen:

[Ghostbat]

Really nice pics. Thank you TT.

Too bad the interior looks so cheap.

[MartijnGizmo]

Nice pictures, I really like #5!

Choose the option to disable smilies in your post. Then you can post the links without the aliens appearing.

Pretty smart LOL

[stmoritzer]

That the way it should be :good:
They give us the key for an Indepth and off we go for cool places and some nice driving :fuck:
once again you're the first to present :twisted:
I spoke to the AM-Jag dealer about comparing the AMV8 with the XK and some photos, but I'm too busy atm :bah: to book the testdrive.


Very nice picture of the AM-look-a-like, me likes the design except from the front.
You choose the perfect scnenery with some farm, horses and cloudy sky (typical UK conditions)
#18 should be the next Jag-whatever-HighSociety-magazine :D

Thanks for the indepth

Thats a nice ass

Great pics

[P_Zero_Rosso]

I love the simple and clear lines of this car.
Have to call someone at Jaguar soon.

Number 5 is also my favourite

[Hainz]

Well my favourite is still picture 14.

For a review video you have to look at http://www.petrolhead.nl/2006/05/petrolhead_test_de_jaguar_xk.php

Pretty good sound aswell.

Thanks for the pics TT :!:

Well coming from a 1992 Toyota Celica, I guess this would be a bit different.

I just never say the shock and awe people get over Jags, they are extremely problematic, they aren't built as well has they used to be, for the technology you get they are a bit spendy. Hey I've owned an S-Type IT WAS AWFUL.

Well excuuuuuse me for only owning a Toyota and not something fancier, but you are the one that said:

"I don't know what it is why people get such a whoopla over it, it is so flawed it makes Hillary Clinton look like a queen, ha."

It just seemed like an odd comment to make in this topic. :?

Looks like a DB7 (not a bad thing), thanks TT.

Now if only the 6.0 V12 would fit :mrgreen:

[martin100]

Your pics show what a beauty the new XK truly is! Amazing work once again! Thanks TT :wink:

[Wutputt]

Great in depth pics, TT. I also like #5, but I like #18 even better, because of the composition.

[dingo]

Missed this topic :oops: Really nice indepth, I'm really jealous that you just can't get a car for yourself here from dealers (I've tried). :(

Pic 18 is my favourite too. :good:
