Default Center caps free to a good home

I have three used green OEM center caps (and on with a broken prong) from my X that I will send for FREE to the first persons that respond with a good sob story. Would like to send all three at once, but if there are a bunch of good gut-wrenching and/or hilarious stories will consider shipping them one at a time (think Norman Chad and "pay the man, Shirley") It's my little way of spreading good karma during the holiday season and as maybe a small thank you to all that have helped me in my knowledge of the X this past year. They are in decent shape, but you can tell they are use as some of the plastic is kind of corroded under the clearcoat when look at them very closely and you move them in the light, but if you have them mounted on the wheel they look fine. I don't need them as a while back I bought some old skool Jaguar script logo caps that has "Jaguar" spelled out in red script. Thought I would keep these for spares, but a few weeks ago I noticed the front passenger side was missing. Am guessing it was stolen as those things just do not break unless you are removing them. Ended up getting another set from British Parts Place (buy stuff from those guys as they are THE BEST), so now I have three brand new spares and don't need these. Am guessing that is several lifetimes of spares, so I thought I would pass these along to my 'bros on here. Anyone want them? Oh...and, no, I do not have any spare transfer cases....
Feliz Nave Jag!!!!!!

Heres a funny story/pic but not interested in your caps

Due to the recent events in the news concerning Tiger Woods his wife has given a statement and photo to the press saying :-
"ME AND TIGER ARE FINE AND I HAVE DEALT WITH HIM IN MY OWN WAY !HE EVEN LOANED ME ONE OF HIS GOLF CLUBS !"

Dear Alfa,

Try this, my wife drives a Durango. It sits in the driveway next to my Jag. Someone keeps tearing off the back wiper and her wheel caps. Luckily, whoever it is, hasn't touched my kitty. I installed a security light with motion sensor. But ...just in case they attack my wheel caps....

How about this one!
I just bought my wonderful X-Type last weekened. The car is MINT, was owned by an old lady in Florida. I even found a gold tooth laying in the car. The only issues with the car are the pass. rear wheel insert is missing, and there is a crack in the windshield. If I could get the wheel insert fixed, all that would be left to make this car mint would be the windshield
-The End-

Hi Alfadude,
This is a great gesture of goodwill. I too need to replace a missing wheel center cap and hadn't yet due to being layed off from my job. I only need one but would be happy to send out the other 2 to Jag owners in need. Best wishes to you and your family this Hioliday Season.
Thank you, VMV

620, do you need one? I'll keep Alfa's good deed going because I have four that could go to good homes.

Mohrd, if I would say yes that I do need them than I would just be greedy and take something I do not need.

Thank you for your kindness but I do not need any center caps, mines are just fine.

Thank you again!

It's good to see there are still good people out there like Alfa and yourself.
