Well damn, that was way too easy-how did you get it so fast?

Yes, I picked up a new Supercharged XF. But the Viper in the reflection is not mine. Mine is in storage for now as I don't have room for it

Ultimate Black over Spice-beautiful interior.

^^

I just have a knack for car shapes/designs.... my parents said when I was 3 I knew more car names than actual words. they would point to a car across the parking lot and I could name it just had a knack I guess, a recent thread had a pic of a Jaguar XF, I'd like to think I have a photographic memory. Plus I hate waiting to see if I'm wrong/right.... Whiskers had a good guess though

Congrats! One of the most beautiful sedans on the road today. Jaguar's made a hit.

For one thing, price-the XKR I was looking at (the portfolio edition) is right at $100k. Also, if I want a coupe, I just drive the Viper.

Oh, and my father has an XK already

I have been trying to get with Kevin to have him take pics of the Viper-I am just always traveling or the car is in the shop.

Next time you come back our way give me a shout

Excellent choice. I got to spend some time in one this past weekend and I found it thoroughly enjoyable and definitely my favorite thus far in that class of cars. Going to see if I can talk my dad into getting one.
