Daily sports car?
- Thread starter CriticalCore
- Start date
I had my eye on the AMV8 Vantage when it first came out. The F-Type kinda reminds me of it.
Yeah there are some parallel design elements between Jag and AM
Didn’t they use the same designer?
Not sure but that wouldn't surprise me.
Ian Callum was designer for the Jag, and states he started the V8 Vantage design before Fisker showed up to finalize.
Def similar cues between the two so wouldn’t surprise me if Callum dabbled in both heavily.

Beautiful car!
Jalopnik agrees with your choice of vehicle and colour.

The F-type is likely to be a future classic, especially in British Racing Green

Updated pics post detailing - Full detail exterior/interior/Stage 1 polish/Full ceramic sans wheels (don't care about the winters). Gloss black on rear emblems, JAGUAR delete from the spoiler.
It already had PPF on full front end/50% hood/A pillars/rockers
I had anti theft canbus installed, if people have queries about that feel free to ask
Dash cam install pending, with battery pack to make sure i get 24/7 coverage. Didn't want the camera sapping the car battery, so the battery pack charges when the engine is on

I did the same...somewhat.
Thinkware + Starline + Compustar + Drone Mobile.
Those battery packs are pretty pricey - I had 2 dash cams wired to one aux battery pack and use the secondary battery pack for Drone mobile telematics so that it doesnt drain the car battery when it sits for extended times. All done over at Lockdown Security in Markham.
I am also a HUGE fan of PPF. It saved the front end of my charger (STEK) from a ton of stone chips. A nice layer of ceramic keeps the ppf sheeting dirt pretty quick as well.
Loved it so much I ended up getting the entire challenger done in Xpel the day after I picked it up.
Nice setup!I did the same...somewhat.

How's the Thinkware? Does it have the collision/lane detection? That's what i'm waffling on vs something like a VIFO A139 Pro.

My brother has the A139. For the pricing you just cant beat the value it provides.
Honestly I havent played around with the U3000 that much. All I do is update the speed camera locations via the phone app once a month or so.
Both the front and rear camera operate as independent 1 channel cameras. But yea, they do have some sort of radar functionality but the beeps annoy the hell out of me whenever the car in front or behind me moves after I come to a stop. I've turned off most of the beep/notifications otherwise it gets pretty mouthy.
I like blackvue due to its smaller form factor but after reading about the overheating issues they previously had, Thinkware appeared to be a slightly better option. Also, the thinkware models come with a square-ish heat rejection film that you apply to the windshield prior to mounting the cameras. Helps cut down on heat some.
Edit: apparently it does have some lane features - will need to figure out how to turn those off as well lol.

I had a Thinkware for a while and it was great. Never needed it but bigger bumps / potholes always triggered it so it did have collision detection.
I’ve got it laying around here somewhere from the Volt.

I used to use the dodLS460W back in the day and loved it. Pity they appear to have dropped off market share since. Korean as well iirc.
Dash Cam - DOD Dash Cam | Official
Dash Cam uses Sony Sensor or Sony Starvis to let the night view looks perfectly and eliminate all the unnecessary light . No matter is one channel or dual channel, all the function can be all-in-one with Dash Cam such as GPS, WIFI, Speed Camera Alert, Parking Surveilance and Support Backup...

). I suspect she will hate the Jag so much it probably isn't worth taking one model over the other..but i kind of dig getting an alert. One time in particular I was checking my blind spot and the guy in front went full potato on his brakes. The alert did improve reaction time, because I knew it meant the person in front was braking so I didn't have to waste time evaluating the situation and then reacting.
Do you plug in your nintendo controller to start the vehicle like I do with Starline?I did the same...somewhat.
