Hello all,

My name is Ian and I'm from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA area.

I have owned a 2004 X-type for several years now and like to do most of my own mechanical work wherever possible.

I guess you could call me an Anglophile......I wrench on and restore classic British roadsters and motorcycles as a hobby. You DON'T want to know my actual real life occupation...trust me

In addition to the Jag, I drive a 2002 MINI Cooper and a 1969 Triumph TR-6. Other rides include a Cadillac, Ford F-350 Truck, and a 1968 VW Beetle.

My bikes are: 1969 Triumph 650 TR-6R Tiger, 1972 Triumph T-120 Bonneville 650 bobber, 1978 Triumph T-140V Bonneville 650, and a 1996 Triumph 1200 Trophy.

The X-type is a daily driver which I chose because AWD is a must in the snowy winters we have around here. It has exceeded my expectations in that regard.

 

welcome Seeker. You have quite a stable. Glad to hear you are happy with the X-Type.

 

Welcome, F 350 is superb machine
You must be a Triumph bug lol

Enjoy your X , I like AWD vehicles

 

Welcome,

I'm jealous of the bike collection.
Of course we DO want to know what your real job is.

 

The X-Type (with 4 good winter tires) was the vehicle of choice in my family when we got dumped upon with multiple feet of snow this past winter. It performed better than the Ford F-350 4X4 truck and a Jeep Cherokee that I've sold since then!

Does my Triumph addiction show that much?

Well, if you must know, I am a Funeral Director in the real world....don't knock it - it's recession-proof!

 

Hey seeker, welcome aboard, good to have you with us
Sounds like quite a collection you got going on there too....need too share some pics.
FFA has been done manually for you...enjoy the site

 

Thanks for the welcome folks, but I have to ask.....

What is "FFA" ???

 

LOL....now there's finally a NEW joke surrounding my occupation! Over the years, I'd thought I'd heard them all.

PS: Not to be ****, but it's spelled "cemetEry"

 

Dude, your screen name coupled with your occupation kinda freaks me out. Lol

 

No need to worry...when I'm online here, I'm off-duty and not looking for any more "worK' to do unless it involves some type of British vehicle.
