Interesting to read the different things that worry members in different parts of the World.

I've owned a lot of Jaguars over the years and the only thing I demand of them is they be ready to take me anywhere in Europe at any time. Only had one breakdown I couldn't fix at the side of the road and that was an XJ40 burst radiator hose on a Christmas Day afternoon.

Drive them and enjoy them. If they do break down there's always the recovery truck!

100% Agree. I have just done a 1400 mile blast to London via Paris and then round the country seeing old friends. City traffic-jams for hours, heat, fast bits, it never missed a beat and went better and better. Use them and they love it, thrash them and they love it better.

Hey guys, I am an avid listener also... but not as much as when I flew, solo, a H-13s "Mash" like helicopter from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico (68 miles) of open water. (but back in 65, I had larger gonads) lol ... well there is a very, very small island about 1/2 way.....
