Petrol head from New Zealand
Hi all,
Just picked up a nice example 2012 XJ V8 Supercharged Portfolio. Fully optioned I believe. The car has had one prior owner, great order, 90t km, FSH. I also have a same year(2012) Mercedes SLS Roadster, black, 30T km and a 2000 Mercedes S500, 3 owners, with 200T km which I fondly call the Nigerian taxi(hope that is not offensive). I also do a little flying. I own a 1969 Piper Navajo(2 x 9 litre odd piston engines). Don't have a job(no one will offer me one I guess) so have to invest money and I have done NZ Army reserves for a long time. Civilian background started in equities, moved to funds management and last decade tough asset recovery. last 6 years a windfarm thrown in. The windfarm to make up for the fuel burners(I am kidding no-one right?) Driven and crashed a number of cars, never my fault though.
Trying to buy more V8s maybe a V10 also. The SLS and XJ are keepers. On the shopping list(pending a rich auntie passing away and showing favour) a V10 S6, C63 Black Series, either a Scud or Speciale, prob Scud. Not into the Aussi metal and ho-hum on the US.
I will post some photos as I go and look forward to learning from the experienced Jaquar members and hearing the stories of all. Cheers John
