Haha, risk reward. These cars are awesome so it’s great to hear you using it. Like I do. My miles are creeping up too because I just want to drive it all the time

Simple. I do not beleive you. I just dont. Not even a silly pic of odometer will change my mind. Jags do not last beyond 60K, and after 36K there is decline in performance, and and and after 48K there is precipitous decline in performance and even more precipitous decline in put-togetherness. I am considering leasing F-Type roadster base, when my Alfa Gulia TI Sport lease ends in few months. But I will lease for either 36 or 48 months, with 7.5K miles per year, and all maintenance is part of lease contract. When fresh and new after first few thousand miles, with engine+tran broken in, its excellent. But those cars are not meant to last more then 5-7 years. Even with schedueled maintenance.

Thanks a lot again for reaching out and yes, it must be agonizing waiting for the new toy because they are fantastic machines every day, all day.

Thanks a lot for supporting the channel. Great choice in the car too. They are a ton of fun.

👍👍👍

You bet it really does. Audi, BMW, Benz make some wonderful cars but all seem to lack a bit of that X factor.

Yep, and to make it worse, the F-Type is becoming more civilized.

You become addicted and no other car will do.I just find Audis BMWs or Mercs Boring, ok they are great cars but not the same.

@@WayneOnCars Good morning I agree with you Excellent analysis...

Haha, for sure, every drive is enjoyable when you have a fun vehicle and the 6.2 in the Denali can be a ton of fun as well. And yes if you see me around be sure to say hi.

They are actually pretty robust overall.

*Sunday 😇

Great write up Alessandro , thanks for sharing and yes, it brings out the best in people and it’s almost a guilt free type of car from my perspective. Have an awesome day and I think I am going to go out for a drive in the F Type right now. Cheers

Great comment Kevin , thanks for that and yes I also remember flinging a car around as a kid and getting into some near misses with my Fiat X19 which I drove all year around and had fun doing it. The LC500 is a thing of beauty and the quality of finish is impeccable. Great choice.

Before I got my F-type to experience for myself, I noticed every reviewer on KZfaq would have that ear-to-ear smile when they stepped on it. Every single one. Especially the R and the SVR on deceleration when it makes those glorious pops and cackles. The guys from StraightPipes called the SVR the most obnoxious car you can buy, and they of course meant that to be a good thing. It sure is and I love it.

Awesome, great choices, we definitely think alike. GT3RS is such an awesome car, can't go wrong there.

Wow that sucks, sorry to hear about that. Any thoughts on the next car is you do? Have you seen info on the new M2, pretty crazy from what I hear.

Nice, you do day it best with that phrase and those are some amazing car choices. An LC is pure finesse from a brand that goes forever and the DB11, well what can you say, prestige at its finest with such stunning finishing.

Hi again Clive, great to hear from you. There are many British cars that are growing on me starting with the McLaren 720 and 650 as well as the Bentley

You have great taste.....

Hey Mark, I’ve just bought a Honda CBR1000RR SP Fireblade. 72 years old tomorrow. I’m going to do my best to reach 73 and beyond....

Thanks a lot. I have seen that look on a few others cars including Bentleys and such so it prompted me to add it which I did it myself. It has coincidently been on the car for almost a year now.

@@markholubetz Thanks for the reply. I've got a black F type with a red interior. Now I'm thinking adding red strips like yours might be cool looking? I looked thru your videos and didn't see anything so I assume you didn't video the process. I'm not the most handy guy so would probably have someone do it anyway. Thanks again for the idea.

Thanks another great comment and yes I also thought that it was strange to spec such a Prius weight of oil in this car. Sometimes engine tolerances such as rod bearings may be tight so that’s a way to mitigate but I am.not sure. My mechanic buddy says race engines typically run slightly looser for valve clearances, big end bearing clearances, etc to assist with heat reduction during high stress applications. Still things that make you go Hmmm.

@@markholubetz I've researched the hell out of Jags choice of 0W-20. 0W-20, according to Castrol, is only used to improve fuel economy. Its fine for economy cars. Ford is the only other manufacturer that uses 0W-20 in a V8, but in their boosted V8 engines they use 5W-50 weight. Jag is the only manufacturer with 20 weight in a boosted V6, let alone a V8. Its absolutely the wrong oil, IMO, and will reduce engine life. The reason they use it, IMO, is their semi-religious commitment to mpg (and to avoid heavy fleet target-mpg fines). No other reason. If you read why GF6 was introduced to replace GF5, they come right out and say GF5 0W-20 is obsolete and defective, and does not adequately protect economy cars resulting in premature timing chain failure especially in GDIs. That's in economy cars. You do have to be careful using racing oils because high zinc content oils will coat the cats and turn on the cat check engine light. I had velocity turn off the cat check engine light.

One more I forgot that REALLY SUCKS: 6. The sticky buttons. I have discovered that 70% isopropyl alcohol takes it right off. They look perfect without the goo. Same for the side ac vent frame and the door trim around the inside door handle and seat controls. 70% iso fixes the issue in 5 minutes of cleaning.

@UC0NTRFpKyOuFgF0RWbkcA-Q try that oil in really ove hot countries like Cyprus and your jag will blow the head in a month.. You can't use that oil in hot country.. 0-20..summer here is 40c-45 under shadow.. You need 10-40 minimum.. But in dealer they will put you the suggested 0-20 and fuck your car

@@commantrosexetlos4700 I agree, in super hot climates, 0W-20 is even worse. Castrol themselves have a "Supercar" version of the same oil line (EDGE Titanium). Its advertised for daily driving or race day, its 10W-60. Jag would say that the first number in the oil weight is for cold starts only. The second number is less affected by climate, since its after warm up, which in modern cars is 195F to 230F then the cooling system kicks in. But this view does not take into account that sprints at high RPM produce local hotspots than are not cooled to long term equilibrium like the coolant's stable temperature. There are a lot of studies available online that show SAE 20 oils are not sufficient to prevent metal on metal contact in high pressure applications at high RPM. I dyno'd my F several times, trying to get the dyno to look right. The dyno operator freaked a little that timing was being pulled around 5900 RPM by the ECU, causing a sharp HP drop off before redline. It had us confused. After the second dyno, on a cooler day (90F ambient instead of 105F) we noticed the same thing, but at 6300, dropping a 100 RPM on each run. So I wondered if it was oil viscosity related. I came back the next day, at the same ambient temp, with Mobile 1 0W-40 Euro inside, and the drop off was gone. Far from scientific, but sufficient for me to ditch 0W-20. That said, I felt like I could feel the viscosity difference with SAE 40, slightly slowing the car down, so I use Royal Purple 5W-30 HPS (High Performance Street) as the right compromise for me. RP's 5W-20 Drag Racing oil might produce better quarter mile times at the expense of some wear. But since Castrol economy car oil only failed above 6K, using RP 0W-20 might be marginally ok. Note, RP has a high zinc content that can coat the cats.

Lol, ouch.

Don’t forget the other slogan “ The iron fist in the velvet glove”

Haha, that is the way

You bet

I don't know about the other saying or who said it but: Sir William Lyons was the sole founder of Jaguar Cars so it is only he who I'll quote from thanks.

It was a promotional slogan for the brand in the 80s

Agreed, what would be the point in selling. Tough act to follow, lol. Have a great week,

You bet

Thats true

I'm in process of buying a 2016 V6S manual transmission car. Optioned to the hilt, all black. Never driven one, only just saw one on the road a couple days ago, an adventure. I'm keeping my 2016 Miata though, the Jaguar is a coupe and I like convertibles.

Great choice, the SVR would keep the charm and provide the performance too beat the M4. That is the best of both worlds.

Cheers

Thanks for noting I will have a look at mine but have not seen this from what I remember

Are you sure it's OEM? Because I have never heard of this before.

@@vika0194 yes, it's not modified in any way. This is a common problem according to F type forums.

@@Moorzo83 Never happened to mine and I bought an OEM used one from Ebay since the car I bought was used and didn't have it.

You bet

@@markholubetz Cool. Now can you advise me on how to convince my girlfriend to wear a clearbra. Right now that request is being met with resistance.

Great points Malcolm, there are so ma y great cars and its awesome that we have selections as this is the spice of life, but at the end of the day, there are a few stand outs which are irresistible.

Thanks, I thought so too when I saw a similar design on a Bentley so it inspired me to create my own vinyl strips.

Haha , absolutely true David. It does appear to be universally loved and if you rebadged it, that would really throw people off. Love it as it has that stealth look to it.

I think the F-type and it’s driver seem more approachable, so people readily come up and talk to me. The car is beautiful and shows it’s muscle gracefully without looking “weaponized” or “richy rich”. A Jag owner is like a Lambo owner, without the gold chains and overpowering cologne. :-)

Haha, true

Totally

love those cars too

@@markholubetz have you ever compared them?

I am actually in Edmonton, and yourself!

@@markholubetz Oh it was a guess because of the houses lol. I live in Toronto.

nice

thanks

Cool, what kind of dogs

@@markholubetz Great Pyreneese!
