That's because you are a naïve European who assumes it was actually built with wood! :mrgreen: (humming Westside Story melody) .... ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Amerrrrica!!!!

They are obviously heavily doctored, but so is the owner of the realty. From the outside, I actually like the style (kitsch garden decorations excepted), but the inside is a house of horrors. It looks like a mix of Trump and Clockwork Orange, with debris from US baroque interior design thrown in.

It would be very befitting indeed.
But I still think they're just artist impressions. Which is even more fake (just like DCs live vocals)

Do I detect traces of self-irony?  :)



Also instructive for the other Dave (W): See, that is how a Dr. Feelgood audience did not look like!  ;D

Fire, desire, much, touch, need, guranteed ... :rolleyes: my, Herr Coverdale needs a Thesaurus, he's been doing the same rhymes for 40 years now.

Wot, no "luv'" with "tough" this time?  :mrgreen:

And he doesn't live in California. He lives in friggin' Lake Tahoe and drives an SUV, that Jag couldn't move even a few yards in the winters they have there.  ;D


 I don't mind saying that this is pretty much what I expect from a Whitesnake vid, it doesn't disappoint! Is dumb, yes! Is good dumb? Yes. Good dumb isn't as easy as it looks. :-*

That house could use a lighting specialist though, don't you think, Mark?

Like no lighting at all, so you see less of the interior horrors!  :rimshot:

 Sometimes no lighting is better than what gets put in many of the houses built here in the U.S.! But, I freely admit to being an elitist about such things  :-* 
I wonder if that Jag actually still runs?

My older son had an XJ for a while, I think it was a 12 cylinder model. It was a huge money pit. I sold it for him when he was stationed in Korea for a year. He was very happy to see it gone.

The 12 cylinder model was the pits, even worse than the six cylinder one.

Mmmm.... As I recall, there was an aftermarket kit available for the XJS to swap in a small block Chevy.  :puke:
I'd rather keep the V12 and make the car a lawn ornament.

Backinnaday, there were a number of E-type Jags converted to Chevy small blocks, too.  Now heresy, but back then, expediency.

I remember those conversions.
They started, ran and didn't leak stuff on the drive.

Yup. Then you use it to store all your empties - and losing Powerball tickets.
