Default I've got the Blues, really, all the blues...

What do you get when a Sapphire Blue x308 and a Blue Zircon X308 mate?

A Mistral Blue!

I was afraid this might happen, once you have two cats, they start breeding!

Blue Zircon on the left
Sapphire Blue on the right in the garage
Mistral Blue on the driveway.

I bought it as a surprise gift for my mother- she was surprised, crying with joy on the phone after I sent her a photo of her new Jaguar when she realized I was not kidding Her Rav4 was getting old and she mentioned the other day she might start looking for a new car... I thought better to adopt a stray whenever able...So, Surprise Mom

I will deliver it to her in a few weeks after I've gone through the car to make sure everything is as perfect as can be.

75K miles, new tensioners, fuel pump, water pump, thermostat tower, brakes in the last year

My cats are both female, so I guess I can wait forever before there is a third one ...
But you are a good son, I never even thought about buying a car for my mam.

My wife and I both have our own X308. Hers is that funky Alpine Metallic (Medium green metallic) and mine is white. There is just something about these 308's that are addicting aren't they? I think it's the wide variety of color choices, classic styling and the way they ride is why they appeal to us. I must say, those XJ8's you got look great!

Nice job WaterDragon, not only being a good son, but buying mom a car she'll be safe in and enjoy.

Thanks guys

The best part was this took my mother completely by surprise. She has always hinted she would like a Jag like ours, but never really thought it would happen.

I must say it is a really nice feeling to be able to do this for one's parent.

My XJ8 is male, my XJ-S female. Might get a sporty sedan or a bad mooded convert

Had a black XJR, loved it. But we have SOOOOO much pollen here. If I parked my car outside for 15 minutes it was covered.

But I now have a sapphire blue which I like just as much. Only so much garage space and I don't like the thought of an "outside cat"
