Jessie has got her Christmas presents and they look good. Brand new splash guards [mud flaps] front and rear, plus a leaping Jaguar on the boot [7.5cm]. I have noticed a certain swagger when I drive out. Our American friends would say "She is sashaying down the road." Peter.

We sit on the same Committee, but it only meets twice a year and I don't have his address. When I see him next I will give him my email address and get him to sent me some pictures. I will check my contacts and see if someone else has his email and take it from there.

It's the shape which is classic Jaguar lovely to look at Still not sure about the XF which is a brilliant car but to me looks like an Insignia I have the 2.2 Sport Premium which looks more meaty with the 18 inch wheels and as others have said it's got all the toys you need great mpg with tax and insurance more than manageable Brian

Have a great Christmas everyone. Safe driving.

In 1946 when the Second World War had just ended, I was 10 years old and, having seen an SS Jaguar for the first time, I announced that "I would have a Jag when I was old enough to drive"! It took longer than intended but I eventually achieved my ambition in 2002 when I was 65 when I bought an ex-demo 3.0 Litre S Type with 4000 miles on the clock.From the outset this has been a "head turning" car maybe because of its unusual colour (Roman Bronze) and partly because of its 18 inch wheels. Whatever the reason, I have had, and still get, regular compliments from complete strangers. The car has no less than 61,000 miles on the clock as it enters its 12th year in my ownership and I have to say "It was worth the wait"
