My only Speeding ticket in over forty five years driving was hurrying back across France to the Channel in my XK8 on 3rd January 2010.
In a 130 kmh (80 mph) zone I was caught in a radar trap for exceeding the limit by more than 30 kmh (18 mph) but less than 40 kmh (25 mph) and fined 90 Euro ($124).
This was the lowest fine possible in France and very reasonable on the part of the Gendarme. We both know I'd been doing a lot more than 105 mph but he loved the Jaguar!

I have a K40 in my 12 vert. I also had a K40 installed in my 08 vert and the 04 XJR. All three installations are for front and back and have a laser diffuser. I have gotten one ticket where the cop popped out from behind a parked car with his gun and I couldn't react fast enough. Other than that episode, the performance of the k40 has been satisfactory. The whole system installed cost about $1500 split about 50/50 for the equipment and installation.

Oddly enough I have never gotten a ticket in my XKR. Although for some reason I have been pulled over like 3 times in the last year (haven't had a ticket in a very long time). And wouldn't you know every single time I have been given a warning.
To make this even more odd I am a young black man! So much for the stereotype that the law always comes down hard on us LOL! On the other hand that could be precisely why I was pulled over in the first place.

Picked up one in my XK8 - sneaky sods put a mobile camera in a 30 MPH zone, 20 yards before a 50 MPH zone. They must have nailed hundreds with that stunt, because almost everyone tends to hit the gas when they see the 50 sign ahead.
But have managed to avoid it in the XKR 75 so far. That said, when I wanted to go fast, I took it to Germany: 184 MPH...
