Piss taking aside in the affordable not to flash and subtle range the xjs convertible has to be a top contender.

I was out in this one yesterday at Brooklands, and at no point did it feel like a ladies car, to tell the truth it was pretty scary and felt dizzy for hours after as it only has standard road seatbelts.



This one had also just arrived in the showroom but is not really a convertable, but still worth posting a picture.

The last person to question my masculinity got a sponge cake on the head and a face full of piping hot lavender tea
