I highly doubt they are about to do another XK thing, since it would be the third within one year...
And the is a column in the times this week, which doesn't mean anything since he writes them some time before they are published.

Considering Jeremy's bias towards Jaguar in general, and the fact that he really likes the XK, I wouldn't be too surprised if they did test it again images/smilies/wink.gif

I doubt that. Not very photogenic there. Great track(s), but the scenery looks like the surface of the moon.

I agree!

But Jezza didn't test the S-Class two times on TG...he tested it once on TG and once for TG mag. Also once more for the Times newspaper...

Actually it's not that bad in Rosamond, given that the hillside at the track has some color...if you've seen the Goodyear commercial where the bubble guy is driving around track...that was at Willow.

Now here on base? Well...dry lakebed says it all.
