In Reply to: Coolest/weirdest cars you ever drove/owned? posted by tinear on April 8, 2021 at 08:33:05:
is high on the list for cool. Road and Track even agreed in it's "51 coolest cars'"issue a few years ago.
I found it for sale in about 1996 and explained to my car-shopping wife how cool it was. $14.5k, I think it was. Personally, if it were mine, I'd sell it. It's got a lot of issues now. I wish the bumpers weren't so ugly. Victims of US crash test requirements. Look like front/back porches. Only came in schwarz with tan hand-stitched leather. Fastest production 4-door car at the time, but I drove a newer M3 that would blow the doors off that old M5. A lot of newer cars would. But it was solid on a good freeway at 135mph.
I had a '96 Jag XJR I liked to drive. Drove great for a car that size. 'Pace, space and grace'. Last of the supercharged in-line 6 cyl jags, it came out a couple years after Ford bought Jaguar so the problematic Lucas electrical shit had been replaced. I got it used around 2001 or so; referred to it as my used Ford. (Later it was a used Chrysler, I think. Then a used Tata...). Fun car, great drive. The XJRs didn't have the pimpy chrome trim the other XJ Jags used, which contributed to the cool look, vs pimpy. I traded it for a RAV4 after a bottle of garlic olive oil exploded in the front seat.
I had a Mk IV AH Sprite in college. Last model year for Sprites. 1275cc engine. That led to me getting to drive an XJR a local guy had. He wanted to swap rides and we had about the only Brit cars in the county back then. XJR was a dream.
