Wir geben Gas! In London sorgt Automobiljournalist Guy Bird im brandneuen E-PACE für Aufsehen und zeigt uns ganz nebenbei nahezu unentdeckte Tipps in der britischem Hauptstadt – seiner Heimat. Warum sich der Jaguar XE bestens als Grundlage für den leistungsstärksten Jaguar mit Straßenzulassung aller Zeiten – den XE SV Project 8 – geeignet hat, hat uns David Pook erklärt, Leiter der Special Vehicle Operations bei Jaguar Land Rover.

E-PACE Above: You can

E-PACE Above: You can create your own bespoke pair of jeans with dedicated personal service from Blackhorse Lane Ateliers. Right: Marcus Bracey, owner of the illuminating shop, museum and cafe God’s Own Junkyard. 12:30PM E17 With the girls still climbing, the navigation on the standard 10-inch touchscreen of the Touch Pro infotainment system, part of the Jaguar InControl Technologies*, tells me I’m only 10 minutes away from the Walthamstow lighting shop/museum God’s Own Junkyard. Beyond Las Vegas, I’d be amazed if there’s another collection of neon lights as impressive, from the sheer visual onslaught to the amazing history behind them. Current owner Marcus Bracey is the third generation of his family to be involved in sign making, and the business has lit most of London’s West End, as well as created bespoke signs for blockbuster films. Often the producers don’t have storage room after their films are finished so they give the signs back to Bracey, meaning he now has 12 business units packed to the rafters with the brilliant lighting. Indeed, he has about 1,400 signs in his coffee shop area alone and spends over 0 a week on electricity to keep them lit. What many may not know, many of these lights on display are also for sale or rent. I marvel at this oasis of light in the heart of the city, and pledge to come back on another day. But first, it’s time to head back south (and east) for more fun and adventure. *Do not use Jaguar InControl® features under conditions that will affect your safety or the safety of others.
