Default Back to Jag and from Germany

Hi guys,
another one of Germany (not the dust :-) ) ... and back to Jags again.

In my early 20s, i was focused on BMWs, made my experiences with nearly every model of that period and got aware, that BMW dealers, most of all BMW workshops shifted to untrustworthy arrogant behaviour. Since then, i never drove a BMW again.

After this time, i was diving deep into Jags, that means ... XJ40s, XJ12Insignia, XJR X300, XJR X308 and my most adorable peace of cat, was my latest X100 XKR.

But as it is in life, path changes, mostly because in Germany it was so hard to find workshops with fundamental knowledge and passion, so i change to Audi and Merc.

But now another 15years later, i followed the impulse this one model to drive, experience and take care of, i am talking about the X350, fre-facelift as rock-solid 4,2L without charger. So happy for this impulse.

Some projects to realize are already on table, like "getting the soft ride of the Super V8 Version" into my XJ with standard air suspensions, reconstructing display of headunit/radio/phone into a more modern version, but keeping design original and that´s it.

Thank you for this awesome platform for jag enthusiasts and for having me here.

daniel from germany

Hello Daniel,
I had recently a brake down of my Honda in Niedersachsen and I can confirm that owning something outside of VW group in Germany is like insulting a Pope in Rome

I´m glad you survived how "dare you" driving through Germany with a durable Honda, better choose a jag, very rare, very loved by germans.
