I can't think anything wrong with this car, knowing me that means it's something extraordinary good, even I like the man next to it!!

Why, Thank You, Alex. The feeling is mutual...

That is a sign of a wonderful vacation!!!
I saw that pic earlier, that car handles like a champ, and that gas mileage mmmhhhmmmmm!
IIRC, years ago there was a TopGear episode in which they tried to drive form Switzerland to the UK on 1 tank of gas and the Jaguar got the farthest even when Clarkson was pushing it to stop first

Apologies, but when we arrived I parked the Jag up and didn't use it again until we left for home. I just wasn't thinking......

I saw that episode. There was also one where Clarkson chased the setting sun from west coast to dawn on the east coast on one tank of fuel, in a Jag, but I don't remember which model. I do remember the model used to drive from London to Edinburgh one one tank - a 2.7L diesel X type Estate (I think.) The fuel economy is remarkable for such large capacity engines, yet the engines are actually by Ford.

Graham, that Jag is really something else. Glad that you are enjoying it!

Thank you, Julio. At the moment, it is sulking under a rain cover.
