Doing quite a bit of working away this week, and rather than get me the usual hire car, there was the option of this pool car that was sat in the car park.

OK, its a Derv, but it goes well, and is mucho comfy and hard to tell its Mondeo based...

Good lad, iv heard good things about the derv jags - Didnt Clarkson take one round the Nurburgring?

What engine is it. cos im sure they do quite a poweful diesel one. cant remember what power it was or even the engine size. but it seems like a nice car even if it is ford based.

2.0 - Turbo Derv

isnt that the same engine as the mondeo ST TDCi

I belive so

Dazza - It was an Audi 4.0l derv that he tested, a full tank of juice to scotland and back

Nooo Gaz I remember that one, but Clarkson did take a Diesel Jag around the Nurburgring bcos he could only to the ring in 10mins that was his best

seem to remember that one, but it was a bigger engined one than the 2.0 derv

It was also the S-Type, not the X-Type

Dont forget your flat cap and pipe (none weed one)

The S-Type clarkson took round the Nurburgring was a 2.7 twin turbo diesel.

Niice chewy, very nice. Who cares if its a derv. ITs comfy and has great torque
