Need more pictures.  The ones you took at the beginning of the thread are kind crap.  Can we get some good ones?  This car deserves it!

Yea, no kidding.

He's giving me a run for my money on crappy pics!   :rofl: :rofl2:

Update: this car is awesome, and wins any drag race I decide to entertain.

That's only because you haven't run against a Prius Prime yet.   :rofl: :rofl2:
double lol.. at winter drag races...

Grannies in their Corollas don't know they are being drag raced  :rofl2:

I promise better pictures, and videos, when I can. Just no opportunity to take them right now. Many photoshoots in spring especially.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Some pics from when I reviewed one a while back.











IIRC it only JUST fit in the garage. Nice car though, really liked it.

My vote is for him to hire the photographer who photographed the Alfa when he put it up for sale.

I will be doing that, actually. Already contacted him!  ;D

Bob, those are fantastic pictures of a 5.0 SC.  :love:

Yes, the Jag barely fits in my garage too, about a foot to spare front and back, that is it.

Wow, those are beautiful cars. And no sign that with the supercharged V8, it's actually this on the inside:

3.0 SC, actually - I had that exact one. It was back in 2013 and I fondly remember driving it to Kingston to see Mrs. Hire, who was finishing up at Queen's. Lovely car.

Ah, if it isn't an R, hard to differentiate without seeing the badge on the back.
Indeed, lovely car. I have zero complaints.

You lose your domain Robby?

I stopped paying for it a while ago, it wasn't a revenue stream for me anymore.

Gave Bagheera a wash. Finally took some more pics.

Loving this car, it eats the miles and the power is always there when you need it. Look forward to finally getting it on its summer tires to see how it really handles. Already shod with new Michelin PS4s. FE is sitting around 12L/100km in spirited suburban driving, under 9 on the highway. I am happy with that.

So, do the neighbours think a drug dealer moved into your house?

Car looks great, man.  Glad you're happy with it.
