Following in Zennan's footsteps

Postby ianoliver57 » Wed May 11, 2016 10:18 am

Not really 'new', just returning. Had a great year and a bit with the XKR, but, it's time to have a 'sensible' car again. Managed to find a 61 plate (Dec 2011) XF 3L V6 S with only 15800 on the clock. Good deal on the trade in and getting a full 2 year Jaguar warranty with it. Happy days. It's not an XKR, but then, the XF S is not such a bad car either.........

Hi Ian

I am flattered to be followed! Like you I had my fun with an XK8 but have no regrets from the switch to an XF. It's such a well sorted car that the XK8 memory soon evaporates. Enjoy your new toy.

Forgot to say my dog appreciated the space upgrade. Travels like a king now with back seat converted to luxury bed. :lol:

Hi Ian, it's great to have you back, even though you never went away :D

The XF 'S' is no slouch and handles superbly as I am sure you have discovered on those lovely roads in your local area. If you are able to write a few words about the reasons for the change and your impressions of the new XF please send them into me, along with a picture of two of your car amidst that magnificent Higland scenery 8)

Thanks for the welcome back! I'll put down some thoughts about my journey through Jaguar, five Jags in five years, and let you have some pics.

Love the XF so far. I'm just amazed to have found a Dec 2011 car with only 15000 on the clock and full main dealer history!

Watch this space.

Thanks Ian :D

There are two reasons why your car has covered such a low mileage.
1. It has been lovingly cared for and used sparingly in perfect weather only
2. It has spent most of its life in the workshop :shock: :lol:

My money is on number one :mrgreen:

Hope your right about no. 2!! It was a Jaguar 'fleet' car and had only 3400 after 18 months. New owner did 10k in a year, then, 1400 the next!! The actual milage when I picked it up was 15100!!! Managed to hit a pot hole and damaged the tire wall on both near side wheels. Back to Taggarts on Wednesday for two new tires. Ooops!

More to follow.
