Welcome to the club, Stevie,
Nice car -- but parking is a difficulty. I have the same problem when my car goes to Dorset for its regular autumn visit.
I do exactly the same as you in many Dorset car parks which do not have spaces for Blue Badge Holders. We thought about taking SWMBO's Toyota Yaris down to Weymouth in September, but opted for the comfort of my S Type.
But you will enjoy the Jaguar experience.
Regards,
Peter.
