Evening all I read your posts with interest, it would seem that most of the cars I've owned are now classics and I kick myself every time I goto a show.... My list goes like this, BMW 635 Csi, BMW 3.0l Si (really miss this one...) Opel Manta, Citreon BX Gti 16 valve, Alfa GTV 6, Alfa Sud sprint, Rover Sdi V8 Vitesse etc. etc. Now I've got a S-Type R..... Well what can I say, I've had lots of nice cars that I thought were quick/fast that was until I was lucky enough to buy a Jaguar. This car puts a hole new meaning top the meaning of rapid!!! So when people ask me why I bought an old Jag I just tell them not to judge them until you been in one, even a tired high milage car is still head and shoulders above most old sheds on the road these days. I'm sorry I'm going on..... I'm done... ;)
