Default Returned to the fold !!!

Hi all,
Having recently punched a lovely 1996 Racing Green (Jaguars nicest colour) I am happy to be once again driving one of my dream cars.

My first was a brand new XJS-6 Cyl which I bought when I lived in the UK and other than the AC occasionally tried to boil me alive was a fantastic car which took me over 65,000 in just under two years.

My "new" vehicle is a very nice Racing Green Metallic XJ-300, which I'm hoping to register as "LNER 4493", some of the Brit train enthusiasts will know this as the famous "Flying Scotsman's" engine number.

I'll see if I can post a pic of her on the Gallery page.

Looking forward to my first Jaguar meeting here in the Northwest.

Hi Jim,

Welcome to the forum.

One of my mates back home spends all his spare time keeping The Union of South Africa on the rails.
