New to the club.

[Pinkpolarbear]

Good evening ladies and gents,

              Today i left my much loved and well traveled Alfa Romeo 147 collezione on a forecort and drove away in my first Jaguar, a 2011 2.2d 190ps premium luxury XF. I thought it would only be polite to introduce myself to this forum as i, as you can imagine, used the Alfaowners club on a regular basis!.

               I can honestly say i will miss my alfa having owned it from new, traveled Europe many times and put 125k miles on the clock however, what a car the XF is. i hope to be a regular user of this forum and am looking forward to many happy miles and memories in my new(ish) Jaguar.

 

Regards,

Matt.

Welcome to the Club, Matt.

I know how you feel when you leave a car you have cherished for years.   I left my Rover 825 Sterling with 122k miles on the clock on the forecourt of a Jaguar dealer after I had had it for over 11 years.

I was told by the Jaguar salesman that I would never drive another make of car.  True.

I now drive my second Jaguar, a car I have wanted from the days of the Mk1 and Mk2 Jaguars, an S Type.

You will enjoy your Jaguar, and I hope you will enjoy the Club.

Regards,

Peter.

Hello Peter.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

This morning as the XF pulsed its heartbeat, steering wheel came down to meet me, both screens de-iced themselves and i sat on my heated seat before gliding to work, the Alfa was very far from my mind. 

It truly is a privilege to drive a marque i have admired for many years, the Alfa will always hold a special part in my heart but the Jaguar is a little stunner.

Regards

Matt.
