At my age (I'm 56) I thought it would be a good idea to start enjoying the life 101 %: Since I was kid, I've always admired Jaguars. And now I have the opportunity to buy myself an X350. Next week I'm going to see a 2005 XJ8 with only 90.000 km on it, with full service history, 1 owner, etc. and I really hope to close the deal by then, after inspecting the car using all the kind advice I have found on this forum.

So hopefully, my next post will include a few nice pictures of my new silver coloured X350. A childhood dream come true!

If not, then you will need to wait until I find one...

I've just bought a house in the countryside of Italy, where I will settle down (again). I think a house in the Mediterranean climate plus a Jaguar XJ8 parked on the street in front of it sounds like a good combination for a future "senior citizen".

 

That sounds great....how about some pics of the house in Italy?

 

I think I will post pictures of my future Jaguar only. You know, the Italian taxman may be following this forum as well...

 

Welcome to the forum SebastianSE,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

It sounds like you've already found your way to the X350 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

I hope the XJ8 checks out and you are soon a Jaguar owner.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello, Sebastian,
56 seems a bit young for retirement, but I come from a long line of people who worked into their 80s.

Congratulations on realizing your dream if indeed it comes true. We'll wait for pictures.

Here we go! Got my kitten finally home with me. Some +96.000 km on it (since 2005), and the car is just perfect, also according to the local Jaguar dealer, who made a very professional check-up for this XJ8 before I closed the deal.

Now I only need to find out how to attach a nice picture to my personal profile...

 

Looking great, Sebastian.

I see you have plenty of parking space too!

Graham

 

Wow a real beauty. Welcome!
