Fluid change 😂😂😂 like that !! So with so much talk and focus on the Noble I have recently totally ignored our awesome Jaguar , today we celebrate 3 years of ownership !!! Boy that's gone quick ! Coming up to 25000 miles it's been superb and used properly ! 3 Euro hoon trips along with some pretty high speed driving and she has never missed a beat !! First paddle shift car I actually enjoy driving !!   I'm sorry lucky to have a petrol head wife 😂😂 I've mentioned it before on this thread - I love these Jags. They make such a good noise aren't too bad on the eye either. I'm guessing "Deep-shine Detail" are a bit more thorough than the car washing blokes down at my local supermarket car park! |

Wow that looks amazing! Do you have comparison photos from before and after the new rear clamshell? Would be cool to see the different forms together.

Might have got a bit carried away with the front splitter 😂😂😂😂 Biggest problem I have now is supporting it so it does not fold under the car at high speed !!! The origami front clam is a lot flatter and has bigger front air dam holes which creates lots of drag !!! The new clam is 6" longer as well !! It's a lot more rounded .  The rear clam is totally different in shape again should give less drag and better airflow over the rear wing and into the intercooler !! The old rear back had a flat deck to it .  |

Just seen your car posted on speedhunters Instagram. Not surprising really, as it looks spot on.👌

Tuxman, you sir are an inspiration, both in automotive and personal fashions. Most others would likely have given up after some of your setbacks, both mechanical and medical.
I hope some day to make it over the Irish Sea to see the Monster on track and to shake your hand.
Simply stunning stuff.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Thanks , I have to admit there have been some testing times but once on track all is forgotten !!! Its been quite a journey I only hope I can continue!! You are most welcome to come and have a sit in her if you are ever in the uk . |

Lovely day for a ride out in the Noble so a trip too see the guys at Jetstream Motorsport , generally have a chat and to shake down the car a bit ! Car sounds a bit more noisy which must be down to the fastback clam trapping in the noise and a misfire on boost which is no doubt down to 2 year old plugs !! Plugs will be changed when I service her . Everybody loves the colour , it really pops in the sunshine , managed to get a awesom picture with the Jetstream Motorsport Jaguar !!  |

Looks an awesome color when the light hits it. Black intakes and mirrors would add to it I think
Why do Jetstream have a jet out of interest?

Jetstream kinda have lots of Jets 😂😂 Matts Dad is a Jet collector and owning Bruntingthorpe Proving ground means he has plenty of space !!  |

They deliberately parked it over a drainage gulley and then took pictures?? Great shot but that gulley really takes the eye away from the car  |
