Default The F-Type bites back

Got back from a drive, went to grab something from the trunk and OUCH!!! Accidently stepped too close to the exhaust and got a nice new half-moon brand. Not really sure how that happened but I know I'll be sure to stand dead center when accessing the boot from now on.

Pardon the hairy legs.

For those with a V6, dead center is probabely not be best place to stay


Only done it on motorbikes my self, but I see it might be easy with the F-type as well.

I'd say your cat kissed you on the leg. Jaguars are not known for being gentle.

Those R Coupes like to get out and play. That was just a friendly nibble reminding you to go open her up and hit a canyon road every now and then...

Default Checked yesterday...

.....the 2015 V6S pipes are tucked safely forward of the bumper, but thanks for the heads up.

That cat bite ain't nuthin . . . the Cobra's bite is much worse, and I still have the scar 12 years later.

Yeah I could picture myself doing an exaggerated Monty Python style step over those side pipes every time I got out.

Yes, I managed to successfully do that for the 10 years I owned it, except for once.

Someone backed into the passenger side door, as I was crawling through a parking lot. My adrenalin was pumping so hard, I fired out the car like a rocket, but forgot the 600º pipes. The door was a much easier repair than my lower calf.

Among Cobra owners, the saying goes, you're not an accepted member of the esteemed society until you've received your first snakebite.
