Hi Helen,

What do you mean about "chuckability - Scirocco"?

[Peter R.]

1. First car, Ford Anglia. Three forward gears, 0 to 70 in three days providing a tail wind was to hand
   
2. 4.2 Daimler Sovereign XJ6. 1971 reg, pale blue, my first motoring love.
   
3. V-12 E-Type, bog standard, BRG with biscuit interior. 1972 reg, private plate PW 33. Wrote it off. Six days in hospital.
   
4. 4.2 XJ6. Dreadful brown coachwork. First and only car I have ever bought with a tow bar. Bad move drank engine Oil like an alcoholic downs Scotch.
   
5. 318 BMW in Black. Nice little motor.
   
6. 318 BMW in dark Red. The wife was not impressed when I traded that one in.
   
7. C200 Merc. Good reliable car in Blue-Black.
   
8. “Y” reg Jaguar “S” type. Lovely car, but too close to the introduction of the marque trim wise.
   
9. Mercedes 320 CLS diesel. One of the best looking saloons that Merc has turned out in many a long year.
   
10. Current car. 07 plated 4.2 Jaguar XK8 in Indigo coachwork, Ivory interior. I’m smiling just typing this.

Hi Helen,

What do you mean about "chuckability - Scirocco"?

It's the ability to be able to chuck it into corners.

[Mr D]

It's the ability to be able to chuck it into corners.

So not too dissimilar to the XJ then? :D

[100% Bitch]

So not too dissimilar to the XJ then? :D

But I've started driving like an "old person"!

[Mr D]

But I've started driving like an "old person"!

No! Say it isn't true? You've got the presence on the road with the XJ and you've got to keep an eye on the fuel gauge (but you are driving a diesel) but that's no excuse for driving like an "old person". Yes the XJ has a lot more weight than the Scirocco but has a bigger turbo engine :) :) :) and deserves to be driven. :D
