Default New C5 -- pics

As previously indicated, I picked up the car this afternoon. She is just an incredible vehicle. I couldn't be happier with her. The triple black C5 vert is among the finest automotive accomplishments of all time!

After I got the car, Humberview sent one of its apprentice mechanics with me to bring the Jaguar home. On the ride back to the dealership in the Vette, I booted it on the QEW on-ramp. The mechanic looked over at me after our stomachs settled and said, "She's got a nice pull, huh?" I said, "Uh huh."

Here are a few pics. Let me know what you think. That last one is me with a grin that says "Colour me a happy camper!"

The Jag is available! Let me know if you're interested. Somebody is going to get a great deal on it. My post-lease buy-out figure is $29,000. It's a 1998 XK8 vert with the amazing low mileage of 50,500 km.

That's a nice Vette, probably just about what I would want if I was looking for a C5, a nice step up from the JAg
