XKR 4.2-S convertible smokes me
Ok, first of all, sorry to Andy for braking (halfly) my promise. But it was worth it.
*cliffnotes*\/ After about three weeks of laying back and not racing with the lady this was it. I was coming back home on a large two lane each highway and i was doing about 140 km/h. I slowly took over a couple of cars when i see a gray convertible coming up from behind. It's the Jaguar with the v8! Were my thoughts. My mind went to the thread were i signed to not race for a month cause of Andy's sudden death. What should i do? I know this is a fast car with 298 kw to put down to the ground. I will be smoked anyway. I put the lady in the right lane when i got passed the bunch of cars. The Jaguar slowly pulls in front of me. Hmmm, a bussines man around 50/ 60yrs old with blazer on, light grey beard. That guy is not gonna race, i was thinking. He suddenly steps on it. RRRROOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR, lol, my music was on pretty loud but still the roaaarr came through. Ok, he does wanna race. I want to see this car in action against mine! Sorry Andy. I backshift her into fourth and tryed to catch up. 170, 180, 190..... The guy was still making buslengths on me, lol. Crossed my fingers when we were coming closer to a green light and yes, it went red. We were both in the left lane and there was another car in front of the Jag. Green came on and the first car slowly took over the others in the other lane and placed him to the right. Wham, The Jag went for it. I stepped on it also and went after the car again. In second he took a buslenght. Lol What was i trying to do here? Were my thoughts.... But i still tryed to keep up and.... Yes another red light came on, now it was just the two of us. I'm in the left lane, he's in the right. I took another good look at the guy and then started to rev up the girl and kept her at 2300 rpm's. He revved the Jag up too a split second before green. ROoooooaaaaaa(green)IIIIIiiiiiiiiioooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAArrr Yes i kept up in first. It was because i had a great launch. At the end of first i look near me and saw he was looking at my front bumper. I went to second and saw how he pulled suddenly on me. One second later (could be 2) the automatic of the Jag shifts to second. At the end of my second gear he was already a buslength and maybe a car ahead. He still was giving it all he had cause i never saw the rear coming up. Even not at the shift points. at about 140 KM/H i stopped mashing the gass and tryed to keep with him by flashing the lights so he would slow down a bit. He did. At the next red light we were back in the positions same as the light before. I looked at him, put my passenger window down and was hoping he did the same. It took his attention but he didn't put his down. I nod at him with a smile on my face and put my thumbs up. He nodded back and a smile came on his face while doing that.  Green, he stepped on it. I just went cruising again. With a smile on the face knowing this was the best death in months. Lol. Good times. *cliffnotes* raced a Jaguar XKR numerous times. Got slaughtered numerous times.... The main reason i wanted to race was Topgear tested this car and they were so dissapointed with it, if i remember correctly. I wasn't

Man o man, that was a good death my friend.. I NEVER mind being beat by a high end car....i got SLAUGHTERED by an acura nsx last summer....SLAUGHTERED...
All i could do is smile. I cannot wait one day, to have a car suped up to chirp 5th while doing 120.... Yes, i seen it happen. Lol, you just want the feeling of looking to your left, knodding...then hitting it and take off from 100 to 200 in under 6 seconds... Honestly, that's worth dying for i think...as long as it's just YOU and not innocent people.

The exhaust was so Roary (don't know a better word,lol) that i even didn't heard a supercharger. Awesome sound though.
 yeah, i love it too. British people can have such nice language humor. They're the best. Look at Blackadder, Monthy python. Hysterical!
