Hi All and thank you for having me as a member of your fine group.
This day, Thursday the 1st of June 2017, at about 16:00 I should be a Jaguar owner for the first time in my life which shall span sixty-nine years five weeks hence.
My quest began four months ago, initially seeking an X type, and to this point I have read many reviews, tales of woe, brilliant testimony to a wonderful daily drive and non committal ownership stories from far and wide.
The example which is to be delivered by the seller this afternoon is a beautifully presented S type which was built in '05 and is a one owner vehicle. She is perfect externally and internally and shows absolutely no signs of wear apart from some crazing of the driver's seat bu-ttock support cushion.
Being an eternal fatalist I choose to ignore reviews as 'que sera sera' and there is precious little I am able to do about whatever is going to be, my simply stated plea is 'bring it on, baby.'
Wendy and I have resided at Surfers Paradise since '09 and we look forward to introducing 'Juliette' Jaguar to our favourite POI's.
That is all, Fair winds and following seas [touring tarmac], Aye.
Dutchy.
