Hey all!

Well, today Lula drove off my drive one last time

but fortunately with a forum member so she hasn't gone far in the cyber world!

I would just like to take this time to thank ALL of you who have helped me and Lula over the past 2 and a half years (You know who you are-pat yourselves on the back!

)! She would not be in this condition without your help and it has been a right laugh too! And its just good on those bad days knowing that chances are you arent the only person thats had that problem

Sorry I have had to sell her, but I Shall be back one day with another 480 (the sooner I win the lotto the quicker i will be back ha ha!!) Hopefully with a Turbo...

Have fun and enjoy your 480s!

Didn't see the sale ad so caught by surprise. Well understandably but a little sad. Esta you know you're a special person to me and will stay that way even without the Volvo.

btw there's a Dutch magazine named Esta.

Its a terrible thing watching your 480 drive off to a new home!

On the other hand Esta, at least you have room now to get a turbo tho! Booooost!!

Esta, on your site I see some good photographs of KUH but also many from a weird angle...
Interesting you had it resprayed. It looks great on the images now, interior too.
One thing it seem to have in common with the Volvo is the speedo

What do you think of the design of the new XJ?

And they were both fixed by a new speed sensor

I dont know!!

Hmm I quite like the new XJ, but im biast cos I worked on it from the start lol so it will always be special to me lol

But I think its making a nice move forward, ppl always moan at Jaguar for doing the same old shape, but then when they do move forward people start panicking and criticising!
What do you think?

Thanks for the comments about the respray etc

Oh yeh, i must apologise for any neck pains you may encounter when looking at my photos lol!!

When Jaguar first introduced the saloon it was a great and new design.
It's very good they make new designs again.
The XF looks great. The interior is a masterpiece, best looking dash in a recent car.
The XJ, well did not yet see it in real, just some pictures. The styling reminds me of the Thunderbirds puppets TV show. It looks distinct, and it looks good. Except for the panels on the rear pillars. They spoil the look and I don't understand what they're for. The interior is very stylish but not my cup of tea.
Cost no option I'd had to choose between the XF and the Panamera.

You dont need a Lotto win to own a Turbo.... You can have mine for Ã‚Â£700!

Oh buying one isnt a problem, its keeping the darn thing on the road where I struggle! Parts are hard to find and generally pricey, the Jaguars parts are here there and everywhere in this part of the country, really good prices, I get a good discount too, and there are at least two spares days specifically for them. There was barely anything for Volvo

Nothing to do with the fact you work for Jaguar

If you buy Dubsteps' TURBO, he has a whole parts car (with MOT) which he would probably throw in to seal the deal if necessary!
