Hi Paul, that's a lot of cars you've owned and different brands ! :)

[V5PRH]

Hi Pasha

Yes, it is, in th early days I got bored with a car quite quickly, maybe cos I hadnt found the right one. I have to say though, that the XF is something else so will be keeping that a while ;)

How did you find the BMW? My son has recently bought the 3 series coupe and at the momment he loves it.

Paul

[Pasha]

Hi Paul

The BMW was my husbands car and he loved it ! I drove it sometimes and I really liked it ! He is thinking of buying another one soon, not sure which one yet ! My fav was our Ford Scorpio, we went on a road trip all over Europe and it was so comfortable ! :)

[V5PRH]

Hi Pasha

Yes I remember the Scorpio very well, a friend of mine had one. So well appointed with every gadget you could think of, I seem to recall.

Still I have to say I am a Jag man really and I am looking forward to October when I will be taking it down to Spain, its first long run.

What are you driving now? Is it the S-Type? :)

[Pasha]

The Scorpio was great, very comfortable leather seats for long journeys. A lot of people I know never found the Scorpio attractive (funny backside !), but I liked it ! We have an X-Type at the moment. Spain sounds fun, are you driving through France or taking the ferry over to Spain. We drove down to Italy for three weeks, one of our best holidays. We went on the Jaguar Factory Tour a few months ago, have you been? Its definitely worth doing.

[V5PRH]

Hi

I did like the X-Type, loved the retro styling. Always imagined that one day I might be able to afford an XJ, but then they went and changed the design! :(

Have decided to drive through France as I know the first part of the journey well (ie as far as the Dordogne) But whenever we have done the trip it has been with a caravan on the back of my wife's 4x4. So this time it will be straight down in my car with no hinderences lol.

Hey the Jag Factory Tour sounds great do tell me more. :)

[Pasha]

If you go to the Jaguar Lounge you will see a topic called The Jaguar Factory Tour and Jaguar Heritage Museum There is a small write up about our day. It was brilliant and the tour lasted around 2 hours. Steve is thinking of doing another one in the autumn and hopefully meet up for lunch in the nearby pub. :)

[V5PRH]

Thanks for the info Pasha

Wow lovely photos, are you in any of them? I will look out for the next factory tour :)

[Pasha]

What cheek - they didn't take any photos of me !!! :P The factory tour was definitely worth doing ! Hopefully they will plan to go to the Heritage Museum again which is not far.

[V5PRH]

Oh Pasha I am sorry I was not trying to be cheeky or rude. I meant when I saw some of the photos of the cars I noticed some ladies in the photos looking at the cars, so I wondered if one of them might have been you. Please forgive me if you felt I meant something else, because that wasnt the case honest. :(

[Pasha]

ha ha ha

What I meant by "What Cheek" is that no one took photos of me looking at the cars !! They took photos of other people, but left me out ! I hadn't noticed it before ! LOL :P

[V5PRH]

oh right lol I understand now. Such a shame they didnt. Did you take any photos? :)

[V5PRH]

ha ha ha

What I meant by "What Cheek" is that no one took photos of me looking at the cars !! They took photos of other people, but left me out ! I hadn't noticed it before ! LOL :P
