Morning All, Im Mike.

Aquired an X Type 2.0D Sport on a 54 plate over the weekend. Dark blue, black full leather interior and so on. Seems a nice smooth car, well looked after and only 53k on the clock.

Im an Emissions tester at the Jaguar / Land Rover site at Gaydon, so see and drive all types of Jag's and LR's including the prototypes.

Other interests include Target shooting and Painting/Modelling.

Shall try to be of use with any info Im able to help with whilst Im here!

 

Hey Mike. Must be nice to see/drive so many different Jag's in your job. What year is your 'new' X-Type?

 

Mike, welcome to the forums. As you have seen, we are a delightful little group here and we strive to have fun. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax. But most of all, have fun.

If you can, get some pics of the prototypes. I'm sure a lot of us would enjoy seeing what is in the works for the future. I'll be curious what the new rear ends are going to start looking like with this new process I read about the other day (one piece tailgates and trunks with the light housings moulded into the lid). I can see a lot of interesting ideas happening with it.

 

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Emmisions tester eh? I anticipate that your views may be eagerlsought after.

Sparky88: Ze car is a 54 plate, but in good nick.
Thermo: Sorry cant be taking any photos Kinda against the company rules with all the secrecy and stuff around such things.
Gus: Baseline criteria? Im on multiple vehicle forums, not heard it put like that. 100 posts before trying to sell stuff and so on? I've sorted the sig thing though for some reason your site doesnt update previous posts with the new changes though.

 

Welcome Mike. love the little bug in your signature line. had to look twice.
