I had a hankering for another decent sized wafter, and decided I'd like a Jaguar X300 4.0 litre.
Found one for sale near to work at a back street dealer trading from a railway archway. It did look good though, so I handed over very little money, thinking it was a bargain.
Every car has a common fault or two that you expect to crop up now and again.
The Jag had common fault after common fault after common fault. I read a few forums, and every fault that was mentioned mine had in the little time I owned it.
Sold it for less than scrap money a few weeks later. I would still like another, as the ride quality was, well, quality.

Never heard then described as that before, I thought that title went to either the FZ600 or one of the mental 20,000 rpm 250 or 400 grey imports.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 3:43 am gpz1.PNG
Yes, I know this isn't a car but it deserves a place on this thread.
The GPZ500. For all the shit talked about it at the time hyping it as the "4 Stroke LC" in reality, it was a bag of underpowered wank. As the training schools ran ER5's with the same engine I should have known better.
