That was fantastic. I love to see the Americans beat the Euro trash on their home turf, and for less than half the price. Jeremy Clarkson can go fark himself.

It does my heart good to see this! The guy is a heck of a driver, Nuremberg is a tough-@$$ course. The car sounds awesome, great vid- Thanks!
Not Euro-trash....English trash. Most Europeans like America & American cars/brands (the ones we care about anyway). LOL

Some of that stuff may be trash, but I could tolerate a new Jag coupe !
Years ago, Road & Track had an article about foreign cars, saying that the Japanese cars had good engines, while the British engines always sounded like they were coming apart ( which they were)
That's the way they wrote it..not my words, but funny anyway.
One of my sons has had an MG, a Triumph Spitfire etc, and I had to rebuild the engines in all of them !
One of my friends has a Pontiac Fiero, and we went to the Fiero club meet in Indianapolis a few years back, and got to tear around the track ay Indy. Interesting ! The turns are really steep banked, and a bit scary until running through them !

My son-in-law had so much mechanical trouble with his Jag that he let them reposse it on purpose. It stayed in the shop almost all the time. It did not help that he was always getting drunk and wreaking it. I am NOT the one that picked my son-in-laws. JB

I like the old 50's & 60's Jags. I don't like how the English pronounce the name though...Jag-You-Are.
