Appearance and looks are an individual thing, I’ve just looked on auto trader at pics, ugly might be over the top, probably an age thing as at 63 I think the Z4 a bit more subtle,
I have an aging and temperamental (and rusting) Jag XK8 and in a hissy fit I looked at the 650 convertibles. They sound bloody gorgeous and the pricing was right and I am positive I would have far less issues. RFL was horrendous though and it just doesn't look as pretty as the Jaaaag to my warped eye. We won't talk about performance though. :(

What engine in your XK? Guessing it’s not the XKR? The 650 is a bit of a beast but I think you’d regret not getting the V10 in the M6. However I agree that the E series 6 was far from pretty.

Just the naturally aspirated V8 but as Jezza would say 'plenty of torques' Very much a case of style over functionality, but she's a great grand tourer which is what I bought her for.

Making feeding our log boiler totes legit carbon neutral..... probably even carbon positive.... by going to a leccy saw 🤓😂😂

Already had the batteries, so bare unit was sensible money

Typically has a funny size chain (3/8lp, but a narrower gauge) so needs a different file/ grind stone to the 3/8lp set I already have 🙄
