Ok, driving back to work at lunchtime today, just getting off the A405 near Watford.

There I am, I'm cool, I'm in a cool black, low sleek mean machine. Who the man?

The guy next to me

With a stonking blonde, sat in a black jaguar XJ220! I couldn't believe my eyes! Made my turbo look like a duplo toy

Really really really really really FAT. Too fat. There should be a law against them.

IMHO the XJ220 is the ugliest xxxxxx car since , well, since i dunno, a wartburg .... now where's my trabant parked ?

I've got the Clarkson video where he drives one. Aparently they suffer from HUGE turbo lag.

He sits at 50mph, and floors the accelerator in 3rd and reads the speedo to the camera, something like:
50 (floors it)
51
52
52
53
74
92
124
150
end of the track looms....

That'll happen in any big turbo, seen the Evo outrun by the Bravo hire car in fourth gear from 30 mph? At 50 in the big cat best floor it in first!
Seen the video when he boots it in second and the stereo flies out. I used to see them run out of the dealer in Brentwood onto the M25 in the early 90's, forget Murcielagos etc, acceleration is brutal.
