Just a thought but which country is more attractive (to those who now live in Oz)? Most economies are, er, struggling (to be kind).

Especially if you're rich... why would you leave?

I don't know about the Southern end of the world but up here the rich folks tend to move out to tax havens like the Channel Islands don't they? I knew a private consultant surgeon who fled to Jersey the day (litterally!) after he retired, for exactly that reason.

Because you can! If you're poor, you don't have the means to leave...

I'm not rich, not by any stretch of the imagination.
But i'm a lot better off here than I ever was back in Oz.

now look at the picture.
Just looks to me like they didn't turn the ignition key full on and start the car. If you turn the ignition key to the position where you can see the mileage and listen to the radio, you'll get the check engine light, oil light etc.

Not sure about the system messages though.

The engine is running in the pic- look at the tach. It's also up to normal operating temp.

Think. Take some time. Figure what's sooo wrong with a pointless question in the wrong forum...

Here is a pointless answer. It's an XF. That's all the help I can give from your post.

Dude...really?? I'm sorry but what car are you looking to buy? The "picture" of the car (while, yes, a Jag) is from Parts Train's website. So, are you looking for parts??? There is no mention or linking of the site so I don't think you are necessarily spamming.

If you are not "trolling" then please, what is the purpose of this...

EDIT: Oh, I see... It's a clickable link picture..... So, YUP, SPAMMER..

I love spammers! Especially when they are legit vendors.... They instantly are listed in my "will NEVER buy from" list of suppliers...

So, you now guarantee that I will never buy from your site! Woo Hoo good for you, fool!

Well spotted. I never even looked to see if it was a URL (but would not actually have clicked it).

Bye bye spammer.
