Morgan BellMy next car will be . . .

I was driving behind a nice looking Jaguar the other day. My housemates are car enthusiasts so i made sure to take note of the lettering on the model badge so i could ask how much that kind of Jaguar would cost.
It was a Jaguar XK.
It is a very good looking car.
I was just browsing for a picture and I came across a slightly fancier version called the Jaguar XKR-S. The black coupe is jaw-droppingly beautiful. I want it.
It was a limited edition in the UK, but i did the currency conversion and it would $163,175 in Australian dollars.
It would be like driving half the value of a house.
But i am willing to save up and buy one, beauty must be acquired at any cost.
Now if i put all my Orble adsense money in a jar (and we suspend inflation) at the rate of $5 per week i will have a Jaguar XKR-S in 628 years.
Actually if we factor in how motor vehicles depreciate im sure there will be a critical point somewhere in the next century that it could be mine.
Basically im looking for volunteers, who would like to buy this car for me?

... the only people who have bought a Jaguar since about 1970 did so because they were buying something British. That’s not a good enough reason. That would be like someone from Ankara buying a car “because it’s Turkish”.
Given the choice of two similar products, I’ll always buy the one with a Union Jack on the label. But who says: “No. I will not buy a Riva Aquarama speedboat. I shall buy this lump of dog dirt instead. Because it was made in Pontefract”?
Of course we know exactly who says that sort of thing. Golfers. The ruddy-faced little Englanders who refer to everyone by their initials and become aroused whenever anyone mentions Enoch Powell.
