Absolutely correct Leo I ain't interested in looks I am interested in getting home

Like I have already said I am most reluctant to sell the x type which is front wheel drive only by the way.However at almost 86 years old I have no wish to spend another winter down my drive while manhandling a 25 kilo bag of road salt and a pick and shovel trying to clear ice and frozen snow.

at almost 86 years old

I have owned my lovely x type Jaguar now for almost three years and enjoyed every minute of it.Ihave also enjoyed my visits to this website and have learned something nearly ever time.However I was confined to the house on four occasions last winter because living off road my Jaguar could not cope with two feet snow drifts and black ice on the road.So reluctantly I have had to trade her in for a 4x4.I hope her new owner lives in a more civilised environment where she can resume her true purpose in life swooping along motorways sneering at krautmobiles and Volvo driving lawyers.

The driver's window switch on my X Type gave up the ghost the other day.My friendly mechanic phoned around breakers here and in Cumbria but no joy so I have had to order something called a power pack.......all because of one faulty switch,Oh joy.I quite like the Jaguar and will probably keep it mainly because my beloved wife goes into full Hyacinth Bouquet mode at the thought of flogging the car

Did my eyes deceive me or did the bridegroom drive out of Windsor Castle in an E Type Jaguar in which an electric power train had been installed??

I have the opposite problem from you gents, my dear wife loves that I drive a Jaguar while I ain't all that keen

Serious here this morning, risky going out to the lofts to feed racing pigeons I have 10 pairs sitting tight on eggs pretty tough being hatched into this, however it I'd soft powdery snow and the Jaguar will negotiate it OK.

I have had regular episodes of snow since November ,I thought it was against the law for southerners to be bothered by snow

I have become uncharacteristly enamoured by my X Type Jaguar and love driving it around the countryside here but as the 200 or so yards down my rough drive is now solid ice I am stuck until the thaw.So far I am not disloyal enough to think of a Defender.

Good for you Peter,excellent response to a boorish individual.

I am fortunate enough to have a Danish wife and have frequently driven in the countryside in Denmark which is so beautiful in the summer that I always compare it to driving through a garden.

England thy beauties are tame and domestic

To one who has roamed over mountains afar

Oh! For the crags that are wild and majestic 

The steep frowning glories of Dark Lochnagar

Excellent public spirited work, get this entry off the site before the "wrong" guy reads it and identifies you.

I had to make a 20 mile trip this morning just as daylight broke.I found the number of deer on the road hazardous.I was forced to swerve and negotiate three times, a collision with a deer can make a serious mess of a prized X Type so I would respectfully caution you gentlemen if you come up here and drive on our rural roads watch out for Bambi.

Hi, I have just concluded a deal for comprehensive insurance for my x type named drivers being my wife and I.My age is 85 next birthday and we live in a fairly rural part of south west Scotland.I tried several insurers on line and eventually went with Saga at a price of £719, does this seem reasonable to you guys

Hi,Ipickedup my grandchildren at Edinburgh Airport at midnight last night and then drove the 60 miles home on the A701 which is a winding country road in complete darkness.I was not too impressed with the headlights on my X Type and I think I have read on here that I can obtain better bulbs to improve the lighting.

The Moffat to Selkirk road via The Grey Mare's Tail and St.Mary's Loch you can see red and roe deer, curlews,pheasants,peregrine falcons,foxes,badgers and if you are exceptionally lucky golden eagles and as an added bonus the countryside is stunningly beautiful.

Serious stuff this I'll have to stop coming on to this site.....frightening

My dear wife's initials are A.R.S she has refused my kind offer to get her a plate for her Golf bearing her initials I cannot think why

Hi, The boot on my X Type has become stiff to open and no longer springs up on release, any ideas would be welcome.

Good luck to you sir I thought I was about the oldest on this site at 84 in February but you got me beat, I hope you get your problem sorted.

Really glad you enjoyed your trip to your native country,especially being a Dunfermline man with its connections to King Robert,too bad you missed the stunningly beautiful south west where I have been privileged to live for the past 30 years.My Jaguar X Type which I bought almost a year ago has performed much better than I expected over that time and in fact has given me no trouble at all on the winding rural roads around here and in addition got me to Heathrow and a tour of Ireland as far as Dublin and Galway City.I have only had to replace the sat nav compact disc which I think was as a result of the dust circulating in the boot caused by the presence of 63 racing pigeons.

Thoughtless woman Paul, but good for you to walk away I am afraid I would have been sorely tempted to tell her her fortune in no uncertain manner..

Well he alleges that in the edgier parts of Glasgow some of the citizens have a device in their home which can control nearbye traffic signals keeping the lights at red to give the local urchins time to appropriate wheel trims and such.Jaguars being a prized target.

I see that one of my favourite journalists has given up his much loved Jaguar after two years because ownership of a Jaguar damages his socialist credentials.

I have just completed a trip to Ireland , Moffat to Stranraer,ferry to Belfast down to Dublin and across to Galway City and backs total of 723 miles.The Jaguar behaved impeccably I think I will keep it the car returned 56.5 miles per gallon.However the sat nav is no use.I sat in a taxi rank in central Dublin and tried to find my hotel in O'Connel street just across the road from the iconic GPO, the sat nav instructed me to turn left and drive for 131 miles.I have retired the sat navy and now use my I Phone.
