Default Second Mid Life Crisis

Hi All
Took me till the age of 72 to get my hands on a Jaguar - a 2006 XK X150 in Jaguar Racing Green with Camel interior and only 72,000km on the clock. I remember gawking at Mk IVs when I was a kid, and my aunt owned one... but this car is just beautiful and so much fun to drive!
Cheers.

Thank you all - what a really nice way to be welcomed........ we have a few cars round the place - my daughter has my old 2008 Touareg (helped buy the Jaguar) and my partner drives an Audi Q5. She turned up at the Victorian Jaguar Concour and was told in jest to park it "over there - it's the opposition"1 I've been around a bit - first car was a 1924 Chrysler (Maxwell), then a 1928 De Soto coupe, an A Model Ford, a 1927 Chrysler tourer, a 1946 Pontiac, a 1936 Olds sloper, 2 1956 Morris Isis, a beautiful in-restored 1936 Ford roadster and the list goes on.... but none of them come within a bull's roar of the XK!

Is a second mid life crisis anything like a second childhood, 'cause I'm deep into mine!

Congrats, fair winds and happy sailing.
