There are many but to list one it's the look of the BMW driver as he purposely tries not to look your way, after all their only in a 'Beamer'

 

I', only a snob in the Jag, honest

My last four cars have been BMW 335 M Sport convertible, BMW M3 convertible, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, and an Aston Martin DB9 Le Mans coupe,

 

I now have a Jag XJ Supersport, and will knock spots off all of them, the best car i've ever owned, by a long way, just sheer class !

 

ATB,

It is fab John, the woman who mangled my Aston (while it was in for a service) did me a huge favour . The XJ was the Jag directors car, not only is it faster than the Aston, it has a 1200 watt Bowers and Wilkins 20 speaker sound system ( i'm en ex music researcher and a huge music buff) , but it has more flat sceen TV's than the local  council estate . I'm really impressed with it, even though you do need planning permission to park it.

 

ATB,

I would imagine the downsides must be fuel cost and insurance, an X boss of mine offered me his 5.0 litre XF 12 months old practically unused for £30,000 unfortunately didn't have the cash and was very worried about the fuel costs, my 4.0 L S TYPE knows how to drink so i didn't think that would be any better.he traded it in for the XJ but kept pranging it apparently he couldn't get used to it's length, I always think the premium sound system in mine is pretty good don't know how it compares to the Bowers and Wilkins that must be something else....john

John,being an old bugger my insurance is pretty cheap . it average about 23mpg, 20mpg around town, and about 32mpg on a run, compared to the Aston I find it quite economical .

 

As I don't drink or smoke anymore, due to a heart attack I can use the money saved towards motoring .

 

The 5.0 litre XF sounded fab, I was offered a  XFR-S , they wanted my mangled Aston plus another £13K, as I had spent a fortune at the same garage over the past year I declined, and they got me the XJ, which I really like,

 

This is the one I ws offfered: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201309118727572/sort/default/make/JAGUAR/model/XF/postcode/ex348lt/radius/1501/keywords/r/price-to/75000/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/fuel-type/petrol/price-from/50000/advert-type/featured-listing/dealer/719982/usedcars?logcode=flp

What I love most about my Jag is ......the colour!

That is a lovely colour.  I had the same colour on my X Type, and someone else liked it so much that they car jacked it.  I now have a blue S type!!!

    Space, Pace, and Grace. Not very original I agree, but I stand by it.
