Who makes those Wheels?

They look Amazing! but can't find any reference to Louboutins except for designer Shoes which in a way I suppose they are.

Great Photo! Very Atmospheric.

I assume the hint with Louboutin is just to highlight the price

Though what I find interesting is the yellow paint in the tread of the tires.

C'mon guys. Louboutin is famous for their red soles. Colored underside, like these yellow grooves on the tyres.

Ah, someone likes women's shoes... Was we supposed to know this or was it an accident?

It started when I saw the advertising of tires with color grooves. I find this idea amazing. I bought new tires and a yellow paint.

I'm traveling from Moscow to Sochi now. I'll post some pics of this travel.

I parked next to a Mini today at the university. Photo isn't great, as I was using my tablet, but show the size difference pretty well. Also, note the Jag's lower than the Mini. And it's not visible, but my rear was also sticking further back than the Mini....

No matter what people say, this IS the best engine Jaguar ever made. And I'll copy the slogan from Canada Goose: Ask anyone who knows!

I like it more than my turdy Jaguar V8 (AJ26) and more than my old AJ16!

You would've thought it was plastic
Had no idea those panels were metal. Hmmmm...

How did the Porsche and XJS become stablemates? Gotta be a good story in there!

The Porsche I got about 2 years ago. My buddy had one and was looking locally for a mechanic to do the timing belt. Found a mechanic who said he no longer does 944 stuff but had a buddy trying to sell one. So we went and looked at it and I ended up getting it. I put a good year of work into it but nothing major. Buffed it from orange to red and found an almost perfect interior out of a junkyard 944. My wife found the jag online in December. Come to find out it was the same mechanic selling it so we struck a deal! The jag has required more tlc than the Porsche. Both are awesome childhood cars
