Was it dark gray metallic or maybe gun metal gray colour in the
Brunswick area?
I've seen one of those Bentley coupes a couple of times around that area
recently, they look ok from some angles but awful from others, its not
something you wouldn't notice though as it stands out from the crowd.

Made my Calais looks gleaming in the light as well because that was nice
and clean. ;-).

I would have thought a comment like that would have been more likely to
come from Clive Robertson than Clive James.

All jokes aside,..the "XJ" series (I6 and V12) must have constituted the
most Jag-model sold prize? There are still quite a few around.

I don't know who well the XF will go, it does not look like a Jaguar

As have I (a little bit more of a meat and potatoes picture of me at any
rate, and anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, tough)

So I re-iterate, you aren't even in the running!
