I actually prefer the looks of the coupe more then the convertible but open top is even better on the Jaguar I find.

In normal mode, it's not too bad. It's noticeable but not overwhelming if you're reasonable with the pedal.


Here's a quick shot from Sunday's track day.

Ran the car with PSS 2 weeks ago, what a difference. It's been flawless so far, I am very impressed.

Here's an action shot.

Stay tuned for some pics over the weekend

I also apologize for the lack of updates, I've been going back and forth quite a bit between DC and Ontario but I should be settling down

Thank you JS, I love the feeling of road racing. It's a pricey hobby but I tell my wife it's cheaper than drugs right?

Unfortunately no videos I have to hook up my GP next time.

About time you spilled the beans! You didn't tell them about the other acquisition along with the 458 though

Maj, he kept the Jag too.

I need to look into the monkey business.

Truly amazing machines, do you rotate between them or have a specific car for each day of the week? Or do you look at the garage and decide based on which direction the boner points?

I kept the F-TYPE. As for the other acquisition; I'll have to Ok with the wife as it is her car and she's not too fond of me taking pictures to put it online... I'll sneak some in though. I'm in the middle of a move so I'll get around to it.

458!

As others have said, absolutely gorgeous color combo.

I couldn't imagine having that choice of driving a Jag or 458 in the morning, you are living every car enthusiasts dream each time you press the garage door opener.

Is your wife's car the white one next to it?

Let's play the car guessing game if it is.

Heading to the Montreal GP today. I'll post some pics along the way as I am taking the back roads. Will also have the other car with me. I'll bombard this thread with pictures momentarily and all the toys people bring out to Mtl this evening.
