This is one car I would never EVER let go…
I remember when I was young I had diecast models of the XJ220 on my dresser and posters and pictures from magazines posted on my wall.
There were fewer supercars as beautiful and the same is true today.
It was ridiculously expensive. It was ridiculously exclusive and ridiculously fast due to its extreme light weight and its twin-turbo V6 engine from the Group C XJR-10/11 race cars.
Only 264 XJ220’s were built in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) and this isn’t one of them.
This is the even more expensive, exclusive, and faster version called the Jaguar XJ220S and only 6 of these cars were built and it will soon go to auction.
The car was stripped and rebodied in carbon-fiber with a front splitter and an adjustable rear spoiler and the motor was tuned to 680hp. It was essentially a street legal version of the XJ220C GT race car.
This specific car has about 700hp due to a $20,000 titanium by TWR and an extra tuning done to the engine.
RM Auctions expects to sell the car for between $225,000-$300,000, about half of what the car originally cost. Pity the owner for selling, but praise the person buying!

‘roly poly’, designed by the design incubation centre at the national university of singapore, are a pair of egg-like objects
that mirror each other’s movements, even when physically separated. two people thus can sense each other’s presence
despite distances across the world: a tap of one half will create a simultaneous reaction in the other.

Introducing our new game called:
“Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.”
The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check.
Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations.
Rules:
1) The game starts after everyone has ordered.
2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down.
3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game.
4) Loser of the game pays for the bill.
5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Variations/house rules:
-Starting the game after everyone is seated.
-In the rare event that multiple people flip their phones simultaneously, the bill is split between said players.
- Feel free to invoke penalties/strikes systems.
Notes:
- No touching or messing with anybody else’s phones.
- You don’t have to stack the phones. This was done for picture taking purposes.
- I realize I should perhaps think of a different name for this awesome game. Because I don’t mean to imply that everyone who checks their phone during meals is a di*k.
- I recommend not being such a stickler or hardass on people about the rules and even initiation of the game. Basic premise is to just get people open to the idea of staying active and attentive to one another. But if someone has to take a call; they have to take a call =).
- Have fun! It’s really more of a fun concept in this new age high tech life of ours. Conversation is the spice of life.
