Thus why I'd like to pay threw bank transfer.

I should purchase a cheap MX5 for the day then! ...that sort of road really isn't what I would call fun to drive in a cruise liner, don't get me wrong, the Jag is more capable than some people think given it's over 5m long, wide as a transit and has an air suspension ...but even so it's hardly natural!
I remember trying to keep up with Howard's Mazda in the New Forest in 2009 with my black Jag, it was easy enough on the straights but ...interesting in the corners to say the least, I didn't think I was going to be able to persuade the Pirellis to hang on in one of those corners at least. In other words, I'll be near the back in my cruise liner wafting, you lot can hoon all you like though.
Actually, maybe I should get some tyres that aren't Pirelli P6000s tbh ...that'd probably be the best bet.
Interestingly though, when you push it a bit the XJ6 handles a bit better than the XJ8, as it doesn't have a V8 engine weighing the nose down, it also responds better to being revved hard, or should I say it feels like it does more good in the V6 where as with the V8 it didn't.

Which is why I did a bank transfer
Holy crap that's going to sound epic in person, the quality of the recording leaves a bit to be desired but I know what they sound like anyway ...I'll be begging, borrowing or if absolutely necessssary stealing a ride in that for sure if at all possible 
How much does the system cost? Is it just for aural pleasure or is there a bhp increase, too?
I think you need more than a MIG welder and a mask to make a backboxI think I'm going to have to learn to weld. I'd refuse to pay £1200 for a bit of stainsteel pipework, Even if it did make my car sound like god.
