Smile Delayed Mid Life Crisis

Hi
After 207 thousand miles my Ford Explorer cracked its cylinder head. At the age of 71, another SUV would be logical, but I could not see value for money. However, a 2004 XJR is fantastic value, so I decided to give it a go and bought one a little cosmetically abused but with only 61,000 miles. Drives like a dream and i am hooked.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and will be joining the local Jag club on their overnight to Marin County in mid August. Looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts.

Harry did say his midlife crisis was delayed Richard. But I think to buy an XJR after the Ford Exploder is a great move,and hoping from an update from Harry to see if the addiction has tarnished at all.
I really think we deserve a Pic or two though.
