Greetings. I just came home from almost three weeks in England, in particular Yorkshire and Wiltshire (plus A1 and M2 and whatever motorways to get back and forth to Dover).
Two things strikes me: that there seem to be no limit for how small a roundabout may be and that your speed limit for country roads is utterly nuts, considering how I experienced English driving (too fast and careless on smaller roads).

I bought my X-Type in 2009, it was a German import initially, and aside for some initial electronic woes, it has fulfilled an exemplary duty over the years and is about to celebrate its 10 anniversary/300.000KM soon'ish. Been in Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland. Have driven on narrow middle-age, town center roads as well as Autobahn at 200 KM/H. Mountain roads in the Alps, heavy rain in Yorkshire, dusty highways at Mallorca, and the fast paced curved Croatian motorways around Split. Always came out on top, always dusted those ugly German/Italian/French cars.
Have reason to believe it is one of the best kept X-Types in Sweden. For this autumn or spring we will get an XF Sportbreak, the big diesel one. Since I drive a lot (40.000 KM/Year) it does not seem to make sense getting a Petrol one.

As for me (I see now I can not edit posts) I work with IT Systems at Mercedes-Benz/Daimler AG, manage Web CMS operating systems on my spare time, including several forums, and have a wife/dog/three moved-out kids, in order of appreciation.
