Hello.

Just bought my first Jag today, 2012 XF 3.0

Not going to pick up for a few weeks, while I run last few weeks of a company car out.

Can't wait to bring it home :)

Hi Malc

 

It’s a 2012 Jaguar XF 3.0 V6 Diesel Luxury, this is the spiel from the advert, most pretty standard I think.

But as I’m leaving behind 24 years of not great company cars, I thought I’d treat myself to something special.

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was going to probably be mine, and as I was test driving, there was no going back.

Finally got myself a car I can enjoy and have some fun in.

Don’t even know what the colour is called, it’s a metallic silver grey.

Can’t wait to start driving it now J

Welcome to the Club, Paul.

I too had company cars for 29 years -- Ford Escorts for 10 of them!

The Jaguar experience is rather unique and I think you will enjoy it, and I hope you will enjoy the club just as much.

Regards,

Peter.

Will definately post some pics when I get her back here.

I originally put off pick up until end of August (latest I could leave it), as I will still have the company car until end of September, but think it's going to be too hard to resist picking up early, just have to relegate the company car to being parked somewhere on the road

Hi again.

The day finally arrived and i pick up my XF.

Love it even more now than when I decided to buy.

Just looking for excuses to go out for a drive now.

Not the greatest picture I'm afraid!
