I've been away for a while

[AlexD333]

Hi all, I'm sure some of you have had some peace and quiet whilst I've been training. Jaguar paid for the 3 days at the new hall hotel and spa at castle Bromwich, had a factory tour of jaguar production line which was awesome, some classroom stuff, and a few sneaky pictures of stuff to be, including a jag 4x4 in the pipe line :sly

Meals were intense and an allowance of 27 quid an evening!! :lol

The best day was Tuesday though as we got to drive all the cars around Warwickshire! Here a few pics of the stuff i got to drive. Unfortunately one of my colleagues managed to crash an XKR going round a roundabout a little to enthusiastic :augie

I managed a good old arse twitch over a bump in the road with pedal to the floor.

Experienced performance like no other!! Still wouldn't give up my terrano though :thumbs

My favourite, 510bhp with a supercharger, this thing was beastly!!! :sly :naughty

:lol erm.... I don't think so.

I also saw the JLR centre with the offroad test track that they drive you on when you are buying a defender, disco ect. Would love to take my baby on there :sly

Yeah certainly a few perks of working with jag. All the guys are really nice, decent company and it's growing at a really good rate

You lucky sod. When I worked for steelers all the drive n skive days were Almera, Primera and QX.

You didn't manage to sneak one away then :augie

Certainly looks like you had a real good time, well done, am I envious? well yes for when I was younger, but not now as I am not into that sort of stuff, fast is not me any more, more slow and steady, Rick

 

[AlexD333]

You didn't manage to sneak one away then :augie

No I wish!!

And also rick as I've been finding out, it's not just about the performance, there is a real luxury side to them as well. The materials and the way it's designed, seats fully customisable, sound system is amazing too!

 

[exosteve]

im just about to go climb a ladder all day do yoga at the top of it and manually polish frikkin leaded windows all day:doh

Oh you haven't seen the accommodation either, let me dig up a picture, I'm like a sheep in wolves skin :lol

Too posh for me but I made the most of it
