After a long drawn out application I now have my residency for Portugal. On the ferry tomorrow evening from Newhaven to Dieppe. Driving my 420 through France, Spain and into Portugal to live it's new life with me, no more salty roads and year round driving season. No motorways, plenty of stops along the way , I need this road trip so much, I love this car and couldn't bring myself to let her go after 22 years of ownership she's still a keeper.

Happy new life in the warmth of Iberia! Keep the Jaguar and JEC flags flying there. Having just returned from driving 2500 miles on largely empty and pothole-free roads in France, you can be assured you have at least one member who envies you the opportunity. Mike.
