Replacing The X150 , Only With Another V8

Females always like the Mercedes SL, or is that too obvious? As for a slice of old England with a V8; there are few possibilities; Jag, Aston, Bentley, unless you are including Anglo - American hot rods such as Jensen and Bristol. Hope you find something good, and tell us all about it.

Well Chris this is the first contender , I have driven them more often than some owners having had around 5 test drives over the years . Unlike the X351 in the proper colour it has grown on me . I say proper colour because I went and viewed a silver one and to be frank it looked completely anonymous in the same way a silver X150 does . What about those rims ? Amongst the best I have seen possibly ever .

I have never seen them either Chris and sadly I couldn't tell you anything about them , Oz or IanD will be the men to ask especially if they are factory optioned . 

At nearly £1400 per wheel, you can see why they are not that common.

Very nice, and the red / black interior is one of the few two tones which work well, imo. Obviously the F-Type has grown on you; sometimes we appreciate things more with familiarity. Silver is a colour few cars look good in.

Yeah its a beauty alright , I was just looking at a thread I started some years back on Jaguar Forum about buying second hand Jaguars and its still going strong , its great to know I can still spot them . Let me be straight with you , I have the money for it and much more besides . I have been struggling with a couple of issues , domestic problems with an educated girlfriend that
despite her job and earning capacity apparently isnt that bright nor incentivised when it comes to buying a house . This whole Covid situation and how it will pan out regarding my Business . As I said earlier , given the time these cars are sitting on forecourts I am not alone in suffering a slight crisis of confidence . Few people are currently walking into showrooms and throwing £45k across the desk at a Salesman . Its a Lockdown Phil , I can't even drive it anywhere . Is it smart to lay out the money simply to watch it sit unused and depreciating ? That said however , sooner or later like back in the stone age man will emerge from his cave despite the threat outside , thats in our DNA and the Politicians will soon find that out .

And always some interesting comments from the Pistonhead Members

I suppose ultimately as an Englishman you are always left in a quandary , Aston Martin hold a particular place in the Psyche and much of it is down to James Bond and the iconic DB5 . I often wonder what would have happened to Aston a Company which has spent most of its life on the verge of Bankruptcy if David Brown hadn't pulled of this masterstroke ? I read somewhere the other day the following comment , " Do you ever sit in a Jaguar wishing you had bought an Aston or do you sit in an Aston wishing you had bought a Jaguar " ?

Forgot you were one of those   

Says the man who has bought how many motorbikes is it, in the past six months Ed?

We are all English now , there is one swimming across the Med from North Africa as we speak 

Lock down blues??? You'll be telling me you've got mental health issues next.
To be fair we've known you have for years but you can't blame it on Boris or Covid now, we've known you too long. 

Correct indeed.
I think it's a smart move just waiting a bit. Construction doesn't seem to be doing too bad from what I can tell but that will only last for as long as plenty of liquidity. As soon as the people or business starts to feel the real pinch (I'm thinking higher taxes to pay for these annual vaccines, furlough and the untouchable NHS of course) the market could dry up very quickly if there is no ready cash.
It's the little people who really are going to get hammered and worse still our children. I shudder think how my children are going to have to pay the sky high taxes. One thing not talked about with all this debt that is mounting up is the ongoing and very real pensions black hole in this country. I have no idea how that is going to be resolved.

Sorry for the thread going off topic... I'll be quiet now.
