You trying to tell me something, Mikey?
I am currently researching herringbone tweed jackets with leather elbow patches, just in case (oh and pipes)! :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Surely a Jaagg owner would be a member of the RAC, after all it is Royal :thumbsup:

I nearly bought a similar one but bought the Z4 instead.
I'd still have a MK2 Jag, just love the look and remember the one my dad had when I was a kid.

I think I've found a better one! Last of the XK8, so run-out ltd edition 'white badge S' spec. Lower miles and better MOT history. A bit more money ATM but waiting for the seller to give me more info.

This is exciting stuff!!! The link to the silver Jag is lovely. My only nit-pick is the large overhang at the rear (which Jaguar lopped off on the F-Type) look forward to seeing the new option

Gone off the XK8 idea TBH. They are all rust buckets, even the supposedly 'pristine' ones.
Going back to the German idea again. I looked at these last year and keep coming back to this

Quite fancy a CL500 but they are huge; in size and running costs

I’m sure Mr Tourette’s runs an E class as a daily.

Re the running costs of the CL, that shouldn’t matter to you as you never drive them or keep them long enough :poke: only issue could be resale
