    Used to have a 2.7 XJ old shape ( nice ) until some blind SOB crashed full pelt into us on the M6 after another SOB created a brake pulse that stopped us in lane 3.
    We are alive now because of her.
    Your assumption is right.

    A Jaguar (only police, bank robbers and Jeremy Clarkson call them Jags) are more like ISP
    Air Arms would be Vauxhall

    I always think of the AA S400 as the Mondeo of the airgun world, a car / gun that does its job as good as anything for a reasonable price. Having said that they have gone up a lot recently......

    I've always liked Mondeos. I like most Fords, really, although I'm well out of touch with the modern stuff now. I like Fiats, too. And Alfas & Lancias. And always liked & respected Jaguars.

    Although I'm not really convinced that car analogies are viable, what would be the airgun equivalent of the Austin Allegro?
