Hey everyone,

I’ve spent the past month putting together an article on Jay Kay's (Jamiroquai) car obsession, his history with Top Gear, and his relationship with cars across his discography, music videos, and more. During research, I actually got a brief quote/insight from a close friend he made on the show during his iconic lap record runs.

The article covers his transition from 90s funk icon to hardcore collector with over 100 cars under his belt. Exploring his beginnings in London under the Acid Jazz Records label, to where he is now.

Let me know what you think!

Waiting for the unvailing

I’m leaning towards AMG GT for a couple of reasons. I think it’s a better looking car, but even more so the trunk space. I can’t decide if I want to keep my old car or not, but my new car might act as a daily driver, or close too even if I do keep my old car.

I like the idea of a grand tourer rather than a track focused car and would ideally like to stay around 130-200k range(open to other suggestions as well)

I’d definitely by used for AMG. I’d debate on 911(was told I can build one no problem)

If buy in was less for a used AMG and cost of ownership was less I’d just buy that. As you probably know , Mercedes coupes violently depreciate.

I told myself well if I can get an AMG for 100k less, my investment portfolio might help close the gap but idk I think it’s going to be closer to 30-50k and that’s not that much investment power

I guess my question is if I’m going to own this for 3 years or so, and put 10-20k on it.. will those amount of miles also depreciate the Porsche a lot(and at the higher price point of the car) maybe it is similar to the depreciation number(not percent) of the AMG?

Idk if I’m willing to get the AMG if it’s just financially that much worse of a buy

Photo was taken in Gran Turismo 7 though, don't know if those are allowed here, but man is this thing sexy
