This is Luxury Blogging

Jan 28 2015

I’m being chauffeured in the back of a 2015 Jaguar XJL AWD.

A 5.0L Supercharged V8 outputting 470 hp and 424 lb-ft.
0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds
Starting at $105,990

Look how happy I am.

I love this doubling down:
getting work done, while getting where I need to go.

And getting there in complete luxury, like, this Jag is as good as it gets. There’s even a “Rear Executive Package” that makes the seats massage, and recline. Recline!

Eyes up front chauffeur, you don’t engage unless I do first #Chauffeur101

Now once more around the park and then home, James.

The Best Part about Cooking is This

Is there anything more boring than cooking, really.

A Top 5 Favourite Car – VW Golf & GTI

Jan 27 2015

Volkswagen’s Golf and GTI, their signature hatchback.

I’ve loved it for years, almost bought a GTI back in 2011; like, deposit-down-papers-signed almost.

Non-car nerds: a Golf and GTI are very similar, the GTI is the faster sportier version of the Golf, and has a red accent stripe across the grille.

Both handle amazing and literally are the cliche – amazingly fun to drive.

It’s all-new this 2015 model year. This 7th generation Golf is lower, longer and wider.

2015 VW Golf
A 1.8 TSI turbo outputting 170 hp and 184 lb-ft.
Starting at $18,995

2015 VW GTI
A 2.0L turbo outputting 210 hp and 258 lb-ft.
Starting at $27,995

The interior is so me – minimal and ergonomic. And no touch controls, proper buttons and knobs only.

This will probably be the only time I ever recommend choosing a non-plain fabric, because the Clark Plaid is that sharp.

And doubles as camouflague.

All the features you’d expect – Bluetooth, add heated seats or cruise control, a new infotainment system and more, but VW is ahead of the game with its self-cleaning lens on the backup camera.
