Hi I think its going to be a warm one.

Hi from another newbie. I only joined this week. My XF is under dealer warranty for 2 yr but I'll keep you in mind in case I feel the need to up grade stuff like brakes etc which I like to do at replacement time. Cheers Rog

Hi Kevan, Welcome to The Jaguar Owners Club. I've bought parts from you in the past and was more than happy with your helpful advice.

I do think several owners miss the point about S Type style. When the car was launched its retro reference points were perfectly articulated in the Shirley Bassey (Propellerheads) song which accompanied the TV advertisements - ‘History Repeating Itself’. I’m guessing that many owners bought their S Types because the design was so characteristic of a particular and interesting time in motoring history. My question is, what’s the point of trying to ... er ... ‘pimp’ a successful design? As part of my own enthusiasm for cars I visit many classic car rallies, veteran and vintage vehicle gatherings, and it’s clear to see that attention to ‘original’ detail is what distinguishes so many of the best examples. Somehow ‘Pimp my Jaguar’ seems completely incongruous.
