Thumbs up First trip

Well this past week we took our X350 on our first trip. Zhills,Fl. to Pitts,PA.
Before we left we let it spend a couple days in the Indy garage who takes care of it.
We had a suspension error 2303,and this forum told me what to do. I sent for an "Andy kit" and it was installed. Error no more ! The mechanic also suggested new radiator hoses, since they had soft spots at the bends.
That accomplished off we went. About 1300 miles one way. I did all the driving, since wife doesn't see well enough to do Hi-way driving. Nearly 650 miles each day. After 2.5 days of 3 sons and their wives having to drive a JAG, for the first time, we repacked and headed south. Same mileage. As for MPG the total trip averaged 26.4 . Happy me.
I have driven since I was 16, now nearly 71. and all types of vehicles 4 tires to 22 tires. Never enjoyed driving so much. Even an 11 yr. old car with 114,000 miles, very impressive. I never drove a vehicle where I wasn't chasing the steering wheel back and forth going up the road, till this one. We are very happy with our new ride.

I have said it oft for decades, but never often enough, there is nothing on the planet that drives like a Jaguar.
