What is your Drive?

[PeeCeeBee]

Heheheh this Tata very cute.

I read an article recently that Tata group is asking England government for funding after they bought the Jaguar marque. What's behind the action?

Once at a traffic light when it turned green, a skoda taxi stayed right beside me for a gd 4 secs.. Our lanes were going to merge and i had to floor to siam him.. haha.. sometimes things happen, defying logical sense. But then again, taxi uncles all damn fierce one. Maybe that auntie tune her ride, up her hp like wat u did to your STI? haha..

Good to feel young! Cheers!

Just went to see a Maser with a friend and we were talking about it too. He drives an Ody and its 2.4, probably with the lighter body and we were going slightly up slope. Thing is, that auntie not fierce leh.

As for age, I feel 35 but I am 40.

Ahhhh a bimmer owner aren't you? Thats the situation with me then too. Mine was because of road works at the left lane after the traffic light. I think its because of the weight to power ratio of the bimmer and the ody, auntie looks innocent enough. hahahah

I only had an STi gearbox in the car.

they paid a premium over the then "in red" jag...now with the economy and the US market consumption down, they're faced with more debts...so has to ask for funding...but then again, they may not get it because they're nt hiring a lot of americans unlike GM..

Am i right to say that they bought over Jag hoping to turn it around but due to the slump market, things did not work out as planned. But the factory for Jag is in UK or US? Why would they employ americans in UK assuming the factory is in UK?

Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts

yes they wanted to turn things ard but it's unsuccessful. i believe the main considerations for govt giving a bailout now is the extent of impact to the global climate and employment (drawing the example from GM case that there's 1 out of every 10 americans works for GM). Jag factory is not hiring so many pple in UK so i think they may not get $$ from govt..then again it's anyone's guess...oh, Jag's factory is in UK...my mistake..hahaa

Bro, don't bring in the S-class lar, completely differently category leh. Then we have to talk about LS460, 740il, Maserati Quattraporte, Phaeton, Audi A8, etc. Don't have that kind of $$$ to even smell those. I drove the S350 once too, agree, shiok! And the reversing damm amazing, with those guidelines and everything.

No lar, don't lar .... cannot smell that terrority yet. Let's stay below 200K okie? If you really must have a RWD, try the Jaguar XF. I also liked that car. Damm swee handling.

noted. talk about LS460.... some might not believe, but i moved one before . not drive, just move positions
too short and slow to give any analysis. I used to work in hotel valet parking, so can drive all sorts of cars

wow.. markX.. i like but i prefer the toyota crown , the features can easily squash the aussie models too bad my gov't dont allow imported cars on a small scale basis.

[billykueek]

Mark X is a very nice car indeed, driven a friend's.

Mark X nice car! Same RWD platform with the GS300. Add more soundproofing, almost as good as the GS!!

[billykueek]

I received mixed feedback, some say its based on the IS250 and now I hear its based on the GS. So which is which ah?

Thks bro, a 20" inches bling bling will look much better but can't afford the tyres.
