Are you allowed to say such things when you,re on the Jag forum?Nah, that's no fun
A well proportioned car though, and bigger in the flesh than you might think
Did well to find a suitable one in the same colour as your Omega, only seen silver and red around here
Yep. I parked it near a BMW 4 series the other day, so 2 recent cars trying to be practically the same thing. I think the BMW looks like something out of the 90's in comparison. So many fussy little folds and lumps and bumps whereas the Jag has nice clean lines.
It's practically the same footprint as the Omega, IIRC. Maybe slightly shorter and the wheelbase pushed into the corners a little more. Quite a lot of that is bonnet, though, so not as much space inside.
Steering lock is not quite as good as the Omega's. I've been spoilt in that regard. Keep thinking I can make turns when I can't.
Embarrassingly, every car I've ever owned has been blue.I was actually up for pretty much any of the colours they do in the XE. First one I test drive was white, which I'd normally avoid like the plague, but it looked fantastic, and I'd quite happily have had it but for the folding rear seats. This one came up in blue and it was the right car, and the 240 PS engine rather than the 200 as well, so there we go... It's actually a lovely colour. Looks like quite a flat, dark blue from a distance but it has some subtle flakes in it which catch the sun when up close.
Have you looked?
Currently 28,630 petrol rwd cars on Auto trader, of which 5, 339 are saloons...
Yep, it's not so bad if you don't mind tractors but finding something with a decent petrol engine does limit things a little.
Oh the irony if they had a mishap and had to be rescued by an oil tanker or a gas guzzling Sea King helicopter.
Err, wots a DNO Dave?you tell meAs I previously said many times, the national grid is dangerously close to capacity ,and antiquated....
You sure? How will we recharge our electric cars then?
batteries from pound land
or we need to spend billions updating the grid ,which will cause massive disruption and cost billions
The DNO's have been downgrading 100 amp cut outs to 60 amps for many years
check what yours is if it's labeled ,obviously take care,just a visual inspection
no removing seals or wiggling the DNO's cables (which may be loose if you had a smart meter installed by some ex Tesco shelf stacker , who's only had a few weeks training )
Looks nice from the outside but don,t think i could live with a beige interior. Down to individual taste really though.This....Sold it ! Filled the Merc up a couple of days ago whilst there a chap in a Range Rover asked me about it said that he always liked the W210 but most were now rustbuckets, but mine was the best he had ever seen made me an offer & handed me his business card , paid a deposit today collects it Tuesday & I'm about £1300 up after 4 years 😀
All change in your fleet then!
What's on the shopping list?
Not really thought about it yet , possibly SL500 or C63AMG
but may just get rid of the Hyundai as well and get another Hemi Jeep.

Should tick most boxes as a starter suggestion... Throw in another £10k and you can get 7 years old with sub 40k miles...

Which is nice
Very impressive though.
Couple of cable ties should do it.Can,t you just get a single air horn on top of a canister of compressed air? Then just stick it out of the window as and when required.Presumably it would need tethering to the vehicle in order to be MoT compliant...
