Finally got a decent day to get a few pics! (Calm before a couple of stormy days) These are up in the Shetland Islands.

Super photos. Certainly made the most of the scenery as the backdrop to a great looking car. Could be straight out of the Jaguar brochure.
Many thanks, car ended up in the shadow of a cloud or a hill both times. I'll add more pics of the islands as I tour about..

Beautiful car -- beautiful scenery.

No doubt you know the quiet roads to give the car its head. ;)

They're all quiet :D I had it over a few rougher and twistier roads today and I'm amazed how it soaks up the bumps - the most fun I've had driving for ages. I'd love to know what the 300bhp + models feel like :shock:

I dropped the wife off in town then went for a little detour on the way home... just love how this car feels.

I like how it seems that the sun is only shining on the Jaguar.
Say's it all really :D
I'm just glad it shines anywhere at this time of year :D

If you like quiet roads, nice scenery and wildlife it's a good place.

Looks fantastic - great fun to drive up there I bet!
Your 380 horses would love it! (no speed cameras or potholes either)

Dropped the wife off then went up to the lighthouse to photograph Puffins - and took a few of the car too...

Very nice but you've missed a bit on the wing :lol:
Yeah, I'll probably try them too - would buy the parts but I don't like gloss blacks. Just discovered that my paint has cracked - it rained a few hours after I painted, and I think that's f$%&*ed it up. Got a spare can so may as well try it all again :(

Hi Crieffy, how did you get on with the plastidipping? As easy as planned?
I'm going to have to do it again, but it was easy to put on - and easy to remove masking tape immediately after the last coat (if you leave it too long it starts to pull the stuff off the wrong areas - removing tape while wet seems to give a cleaner line)

It rained on mine within 3 hours and that seems to have buggered it up. I'm tempted to try vinyl wrap but I've never used it before either - it would likely be more durable over a couple of years.
