Why would you drive anything else?

>dealing with a British Leyland/Rover Group era Jag V12

Look, I know they're smooth as fuck, but an engine that complex with that kind of build quality is an absolute nightmare.

if youll notice i posted an xj8, i would not even try to fuck with a v12.
XJ8 is comfortable and quick.

It's a bit of a bastardization, but seems well done. My biggest gripe is probably that digital speedo thing, feels a bit out of place.

Used to own a 5.3 for some years, sure, they're probably nowhere near as solid as the newer ones, but most times the reputation they have seem pretty exaggerated.

i have an xj8 as does my sister, my other sister and her fiance sport xjr's my mother is in an s-type /r and my father has an xk8 coupe and convertible. none of us have spent more than 4k on our cars.

MG is an acceptable choice. They're mechanically simple, and had the highest build quality in British Leyland by a large margin.

respect your steadfastness in an outdated and close-minded opinion.

my parents had an mgb. wish they hadnt sold it so i could fuck with it.

>none of us have spent more than 4k on our cars.

For how long have you owned them?

I've had this 6 litre XJ40 (81), for 5 years now. I'd appreciate I've spent the equivalent of $2k in maintenance over that period, but I've also had a complete spares car which I've moved some bits over from. Beyond that nothing more than tax, fuel, insurance. Oil change every 5000 km's.

not long enough. the 4k was regaurding purchasing the car cost of fixing them. we buy them fucked and unfuck them. most of the time its cylindser wash, but we get the occasional broken timing chain. my mothers is the only car that cost more than 2k out the door and that was running.

mad respect, that car is beau
