I started reading that at 2:30. Then I remembered the JC has a regular column in the Times so switched to that and read the back issues I'd missed. Next thing I knew the missus was calling me for dinner and I'd lost the whole afternoon!!! Thanks a bunch Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yep, an entertaining read which summed up the car beautifully. And I totally agree with him. All you northern lot, you're better off staying where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Impreza time But there’s another, easier way of establishing whether someone is two spanners short of a tool box. Just ask them this simple question: “Are you wearing a Subaru rally jacket?” Because if they are, you will need to speak more slowly. http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article3209571.ece?&EMC-Bltn=DBP9P4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Bumping this thread before Michael does ... Clarkson's review of the Jag XF SV8. http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article3334720.ece The first half is just a rant about Jaguar and its masters in general. This bit sums up my impressions of the production car too... Had there been no concept car, I would never have known how good the XF could look. But there was, so I’m sorry but as a styling exercise the finished product just doesn’t float my boat. Conclusion: he likes the interior and it handles well.
