Needs more Bathurst, and BTCC!

This angle reminds me of the RR Camargue:

"Land where being seen in any car older than 5 years is cause for mortal shame and humiliation"

What? Are you English?

I'm 34 and have an '04 XJ8. 55k original miles at purchase for around $10k 2 years ago. I've put 17k on it, and have done tires, brakes, and had to repair a broken sunroof mechanism, otherwise it's been fine. A great performer for the price.

"It was eventually purchased by a local BMC Mini dealer and enthusiast Mr T."

WHAT?!?!?!

"Turkington"

Aww...

I've always thought that while the Model S is a fantastic performance machine, a power-limited range-extended mode would make a lot of sense, presuming it would deliver additional range. Limit the thing to 200-250hp equivalent, if you can eke more range out by doing that, give people the option at the press of a…

You've hit the issue — Road Trip. If you take your Mustang 220mi away from home it's trivial to get another 220mi of range within 5 minutes. Without a supercharger near by a Tesla can't do that.

"... From what I hear you lose a fair bit of performance if the battery's flat and it's running entirely off electricity from the "range extender"."

Not completely true in the Volt. If you're doing flat highway cruising with an "empty" battery and being powered by the generator, you'll barely notice a difference. It…

You picked an X-type Estate over my XJR suggestion?! For shame, sir... FOR SHAME! What have you done with the REAL Tavarish?

2004 XJR:

I'd have a hard time calling an Exige, one of the best handling cars out there, that's upgraded to do 0-60 in 3.5s anything less than a supercar, after modifications. It checks all the boxes except "ludicrously high price, just because."

As someone alluded to farther up the thread — If there's no shooting range near me, it doesn't make it justifiable for me to start popping off rounds in the middle of the street. Yes, there was negligence and risk on the part of the spectators, but people died, and these are the sorts of folks who will happily street…

If the fine to you for speeding was $1 (or insert similar value of local currency here), would you care about a speeding ticket? 80mph through a school zone and you're fined a buck? Who cares?

1 - Lack of knowledge
2 - No garage
3 - Sloped driveway

I've changed tires streetside and it's not ideal given the speeds people drive past my house!

I'm sure your hindsight is very reassuring to these people victimized by a criminal. Definitely worth a lot more to them than the free Van they were given.

Sure, the dealership is shrewd, this is incredibly cheap marketing for them, but the ends don't detract from the means. These folks were up a creek and the…

Fisker/E-Lux Karma... It was in production, and will be again soon, so I'm counting it.

Also, FG XR6 Falcon:

I want that t-shirt SO badly!

This whole gesture by Brady has kept the Colorado name in the public eye for way longer than him just receiving it.

Chevy should be cutting him a check from their marketing budget.

Doesn't the CTS-V start at $69k right now? Once you're into this price range would you really forgo the $8k for the cheaper car?

... Or you could import a Defender 90!
