What sucks here, is people who aren't from the US (95% of the people on this forum) will suffer because the USA is stupid. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid. I can't even describe how massively mad I am at the stupid of this whole thing. Stupid.

I want you to say "I have a massive ego and can't admit it" ;)

If anyone is going to redo you have until January 31st. I will post the mash-up in February.

Challenge accepted.

I have to say this is making President Obama look like a genius, opposing this bill. I sense a re-election.

He has an accent. I like everyone's voice. Great videos guys.

Well that's a ton of pressure on my shoulders.

Thanks guys. This is my most recent car review. Check it out. Here's what I'm bringing to Playtime this Sunday!

This is totally out of their jurisdiction. Other countries should be up in ARMS about this. America trying to run the WORLDS internet. I'm sick of America playing police force for the world. I want to curse SO bad right now, so I'm going to scream them to myself to feel better................................. Okay, I feel better.

Welcome back everyone. I'm trying out a new way of reviewing cars today - with my VOICE. So please click HERE to listen to the review - or if you'd prefer to read it, you can do that below. Comments, etc. welcomed as always. Enjoy. Every couple of years Jaguar comes out with their new models - which are utterly predictable (XKR) and we all shrug and accept this "new" version with more power and a face that's beginning to be the poster child of plastic surgery. But every once and awhile Jaguar announces a new car to replace the dying breed of their old series, which has us all shivering with anticipation in the hopes that Jaguar will produce a car other than the XKR that makes me physically want to say "yes, this is a great car, I want to own this". With the S-Type dying off in late 2006, Jaguar introduced us to the XFR - their new mid-sized luxury sedan. So we waited to see if this was the car we were hoping for... Spoiler alert. It isn't. Let's begin with the exterior of the car. It's large and bulky; the headlights look like two gouging eyes trying to stare you down at a strip club, which is rather unsettling. In fact, the entire front of the car looks like it's begging for your love and attention, unfortunately this car is the ugliest bulldog from the front; the same however cannot for said for the back. It's like they took the bottom of the most refined Englishman (Jude Law presumably) and screwed the top of Lindsay Lohan onto him. The two ends just don't match - one end is so ugly it could rip your face off just by looking at it, the other end looks so refined I'd probably end up being knighted by it. The exterior of the XFR was specifically designed to reduce drag and increase handling.. which we'll get to later on. So what about the interior then? Well it's a bit of the same story really. The interior of all Jags have always really caught my eye for being so comfortable and beautiful. The XFR continues that thought process - and then proceeds to ruin it by placing knobs and buttons all over the wheel and the dash. Literally so many buttons that the luxuriousness of the interior is overshadowed by the incompetence of those who designed it. So, it looks bad and they've ruined the interior, the performance is where it shines, right? Not at all. Where to begin, where to begin..? Let's start with the entire lack of a braking system - it seems Jaguar saw fit to equip this heavy luxury sedan with brakes made of clay, no, they aren't even good enough to be considered clay, they're made out out of (expletive) sand. In fact, trying to brake in this car is like trying to censor the internet, it's impossible and completely stupid. What about the handling? That can't be bad also! Well guess what, it is. There's so much weight at the front of the car that turning into a corner pushes the whole body outward (understeer), however you push it too far and the tail slips out from underneath you. There is NO balance between the two, you're either wide, or sideways in every single corner. The acceleration shockingly isn't a total disaster with a fairly quick 0-60 time and more than enough horsepower. Sadly, this is hardly sufficient to make up for the cars total inadequacy. As a drivers car, in average everyday life is where this car shines however. It's quiet, comfortable and sips gas (if you buy the diesel model) which is what every executive is looking for - supposedly. The XFR has won "best executive car" 4 years in a row which is nothing to goff at - thanks to the details above it works quite well as an everyday car. So, in the end - it's horrible going around turns with any speed, it can't slow down and it's rather ugly. But if you want to drive it slowly in traffic all day - it's the car for you.

You've got a new paintjob!

Thanks everyone, here's just a few shots of the Racing League last Sunday that I've forgotten to upload until now :p

I disagree with you. This is the best shot. Good work on it. The others aren't so great, but it's a start. Remember, when you're taking photos - take in the whole photo before you're sure about it, look at absolutely everything, make sure the car balances out the scenery. Shots don't have to be "artsy" to look amazing. Seriously though, I love the shot I posted.

Good luck with that. Everyone has a hard enough time sticking together and leaving distance.

I'll be sure to hang at the back.

The point is we won't be drifting all over the place on them. :fp: Since i'm moving this weekend, it's about 50% I'll be there. I know you'll all miss me horribly if I don't show up. Sign me up though please Santtu.

:confused:

I hardly need ponies :p

I'm not straight. So of course I look better than usual. :p Ahahaha, I slay myself. I'm sure you look better than usual :p Okay seriously now, I'll shuddup. Thanks for the erm... compliment Acid.

There could be two reasons... 1. I grew up in Texas... (but I was born in Ontario, lived here till I was 6, moved back just after I turned 18)

Oh jeez look at this - you said my screenname! Great accent. I am loving this thread.

And this thread is complete. NOT. More people. Andai. The real one. Get. In. Here.

Hello and welcome!
