There’s just something about parkade photos…

 

Even if she was dusty and waterspotted…

 

Those that know me or those that have followed this thread from its very first post know I like parkade photos even when she’s not always that clean. I think there’s something about Carnival Red in parkade settings with parkade lighting that makes them pop.

 

Our cars are so perfectly proportioned overall and they photograph so well - even when they’re not as clean as they deserve - that it’s easy to overlook the details.

She’s clean and presentable at the moment so I thought I would try and capture some of the exterior compound curves and details that make up the whole.

 

Ken, have you no compassion? This is just torture. But not only is the X308 one of the most beautiful, dignified, elegantly curvaceous bodies in the automotive world, the fact that a 23 year old car can look like this is proof that true beauty never fades.

 

Somebody is....VERY proud of their Jag. However, I pretty sure
that most of here...are.

 

I’m pretty sure you’re right Randy!

The XJR is my fourth Jag and I still have one of the other three (all Series 3 VDP’s). I have been lucky enough that each one of them exceeded expectations that were high to begin with which makes it easy to be VERY proud.

 

It’s HOT here today - and will be for another week - so looking to catch up on some indoor tasks.

Washing the XJR is an indoor task.

Trying to decide if another coat of wax would be in order or whether that would be considered a make-work task…

 

I have heard those who speak of waxing a car too much. However,
I have never seen a car in that state. I wax the Duchess fairly often
with no ill effects.

 

102.2 Fahrenheit

 

Ouch, I think I'd die in that. I don't do heat well.

 

We had to replace our furnaces last year and added a pair of heat pumps to the system so that lets us cool the house down if it gets too hot but I do better in hot than cold so it's not too bad.

All I have to do is think about what it's like when it's minus 39 C (-38.2 Fahrenheit) and things aren't so bad after all when it's plus 39.

 

Aye you do get a proper selection of seasons over there.

 

A picture of a clean XJR taken from a building across the street through a not very clean window. It started to rain shortly after this so the XJR is now also not very clean albeit just as pretty.

Eye candy on the street as well as in the windows.
