Hi everyone, have just joined and am looking forward to exploring and learning more on all things Jaguar.

I am the care taker of a beautiful XE 20t in Odyssey Red.









Have always been drawn to Jaguar's, the design and driving ethos seem to click with me. My passion and hobby is in detailing and find great pleasure and therapy in spending a good few hours cleaning, polishing and taking car of my cars.

Thanks for looking,
DB.

Hi there, I am in the Shepparton area.

Benalla is a great little town. I would often get my Fords serviced at the local Ford dealer there but have't been for a while now.

I guess that you don't see many other XEs on the road. I live in Melbourne and see a few - yesterday out in the Yarra Ranges two consecutive cars, a few minutes apart, were XEs - but not too many.

Posts like this always get me reaching for the Atlas. The forum has vastly improved my World geography knowledge over the years!

I was just reading on the BBC News this morning about the Victoria/NSW border being closed due to a spike in the virus. Stay safe.

Shepparton now has a local Jaguar dealer so I'm seeing more now than ever, but they are still a rare sight compared to a BMW, Merc or Audi.

I just love how the XE is a point of difference and it gets plenty of attention on the road, almost as much as my fire engine red Mustang.
