Hmm a couple of Ferrari lists here!

Now that's a list!
I love all of those!
Can we add an F40 on there too? Then we have 4 brilliant Ferraris! :biggrin:
Liking your style!


Whilst I am sure the F40 is an amazing car, and supposedly one of, if not the best of that era to drive, I wouldn't give up the F50, I just like it more.

I like Toyota. I don't really know what my favourite 3 models would be.

We used to have a Toyota starlet when I was younger. We had it for years. I really loved it but people did knock on our door and ask if they could take it for scrap metal.:angry:


Toyota are brilliant!! No worries!

Well as long as you loved it, that's all that matters!!
Do you know where it is now?

Really? How much would an f type that doesn't need repairs every 6 months costs?


You wouldn't get a cheap F-Type but you can get these from as little as £1000
Jaguar XJ

It sure seems like one!

That's fair enough, it has a F1 V12 in the back I believe (correct me if I'm wrong!).
They're gorgeous to look at too!
I assume you'd have a red one?

Would love one of those, but parts on one might be prohibitive. Plus if its that cheap there is probably something wrong with it...

Not sure its an f1 v12, have heard its meant to put a lot of vibration into the cockpit though.
Red yes, maybe yellow though.

hmm maybe but ah well. Possibly, but you could spend a bit more to get a better one!

Ah ok, I thought it was tbh. Yeah I wouldn't be suprised, it's large, loud and powerful.
Yellow would differentiate you from the rest of them (not that there are many of them anyway)

Sadly no. My dad sold it to someone who took it to Africa to become a taxi. I hope its still alive. :frown:

Gotta be the Jaguar XKR. Don't think pictures ever do it justice, especially in that colour. It's beautiful up close and in person. They stopped making them a few years ago as they were stealing too many sales from the f-type, that says it all really.

The XKR does look better in person!
And yes that is the best colour for it too!
Have you heard one at full power? One word: Wow!
I'm not really a Jaguar fan tbh but they do look and sound rather nice!

Yeah, you're right it is the best colour for it. I was lucky enough to hear one with something called the active performance exhaust, which when you've got dynamic mode on, opens up the exhaust valves. Never have i heard, in-person, a car which sounds as excellent as that does. I can remember it fondly, it was a 12 plate as well, since then I've fell in love. Don't get me wrong, I would never class the xkr as a sports car as it was never designed to be that. It was designed to be a GT and exceeds the expectation of what it was made to do. I find it hard to believe that the design of the car is 10 years old, to my eyes it hasn't aged much. I have a funny feeling that it will become a classic due to Jaguars decision to stop producing it. It's what jaguar now misses in its line up, a world-class GT. I would take it over an Aston anyday

Nope, missed the whole thing as I was flying out to Greece on the day and they didn't have Sky in the hotel :frown:.
Although Max did so well!!!
