Today I was shown around a friend's new car, of which he was justly proud, a VW Polo 6.
So enthusiastic was he that he insisted I go for a ride with him to see how it performed.
Some way down the A449, we came upon a Jaguar in the inside lane and he said with relish "Let's burn this thing off the road... " I said "It's a Jaguar" his reply "Those jags are overrated"
I didn't bother to enquire as to the performance of his VW.
In the event, nothing came of it as we hurtled past the Jaguar without any sign of it wishing to take part in a race.
I noticed the jaguar had a label on the boot. It was XJR575. I can't help thinking that my young friend was just a tad optimistic ')
