one aussie review says this

"Thankfully, the worldwide launch of Jaguar’s fastest ever production car, the XKR-S, was held in Portugal, and today is our road test of the car in and around the Algarve region on the coast. It’s a brilliant mixture of wonderfully well-maintained twisty back roads and high-speed auto-estradas, which seem surprisingly similar to Germany’s autobahns."

The subject of this topic alarmed me considerably.
I thought for a moment John Prescott was moving to the area.
