My 2005 XKR vert has been mistaken for an Aston and for a Maseratti, but most people here in Wisconsin know it is a Jag. The women especially fawn over it, now making my significant other occasionally upset. When Kim and I were together we even met a bisexual bartender who saw us pull in that offered both of us sexual favors if she could drive the Jag!

 

An old professor in my apartment complex mistook mine for an e-type. He said "it's been years since I last saw a Jag e-type. Why, I had one back in the 70's, a green V-12 beauty. I had to get rid of it because of the missus. Take good care of it boy, it's a fantastic car."

I hadn't the heart to inform him that this isn't an e-type, but a much more modern XK8. The old man winks at me every time I see him now. I think he wants to buy it from me.

 

Considering that an E type in good condition might be worth forty to sixty thousand dollars or even more, you should consider it! LOL!

Personally, I have always been very suspicious of professors who winked at me, but then, I did not have an E type at the time, though I did look into buying one back in the late seventies and the sellers always said, "You know that you can't have this as your only car, don't you?".

I was right out of college and was not prepared to have two cars.

 

Had a Purple Sebring, leased it so I could trial AutoPC one of the first fully integrated entertainment units (nav, voice command, phone etc.). Microsoft tech and it sucked largely because it was under powered and so was the car which wasn't bad looking really but drove like a boat and not in a good way. Found some old pictures. Really didn't miss this one when the lease expired.

 

Haha yeah, but I think the winking might be a product of something else. This is a 86 year old Health, Archery, and P.E. professor who also suffers from Parkinson's disease. I highly doubt the fossil has e-type money in the bank.

 

Arland,

So tell us about the exciting three-way encounter after the bartender had her chance to drive your XKR....

 

Arland,

If you said you were in LA or San Francisco I would believe your story. but, Wisconsin, come on. But then, maybe the bartender was visiting from LA or San Fran.

Dave

 

If from San Fran, it would probably would have been a "he".

 

When you all wrestle alligators does it matter if they're male or female? Enquiring mind want to know.

Dave from close (but not that close!) to San Francisco!

 

Even a he dressed as a she!! Lol

 

Yeah, but that would be just as likely on Bourbon St.
Believe me!

 

Been there almost done that. Let's hear it for Pat O'Briens. If a Jaguar was a drink it would be a Hurricane.
