......well if you add the two together /toycar

I was going to name the thread "Raw & Refined"........but I thought "Raw" was a bit unfair on the Jag /lol

Anyhow, both washed for Xmas so thought I best take some pix.

It would be a disappointment........big plastic cover on it /pan

Just realised, if I added the Saab it would be:

7.5L, V16, triple turbo, 10 wheel drive 750bhp /haz

:D anyway the galant was very nearly a 4ltr supercharged XJR :pimp2: :pimp2: my heart was set on a mettalic black one but eventually common sense (or cat as i like to call her) said no :bigcry:

Oh I'm gonna get so flamed for this. Let me say, I still think the 8g is one of the best looking cars on the road. BUT, for the first time, do I detect a look of being a little dated when those two are parked together. It's the 3/4 angle shot of the rear (3rd Pic) that made me think.......................

i see what you mean , it might be the curves of the jag compaired to the spoilered ar$e of the VR4 , i mean the galant is not without its own curves compaired to a lot of modern cars

No doubt the flames will search me out, but i do think that the saloon galants seem to be missing character from the rear, sorry! Legnums look ace!
TBH Im not a fan of jags really, although i dont mind the x types too much, again i like the estates better. Must be something about big @rses i like!

Actually, I would just like to point out that ...

"5.5L, V12, Twin Turbo, 8 wheel drive !"

... is technically not correct it should have been ...

"5.5L, W12, Twin Turbo, 8 wheel drive !"

Thank You :scholar:
