Newbie from Pittsburgh, USA
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.

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!

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"
