“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure my Jag is an S-Type (v6 3.0 litre)
I was lent the successor, a Jag XF, as a courtesy car a year or two ago, and frankly I preferred the S-Type. Seems more chunkily built.
When it conks out, I may go for a Lexus.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

1. Some sort of Volvo 360GLi with broken power steering and a speedo that said none mph all the time.

3. Maserati BiTurbo, shed of a car.
4. Mini Metro, used to shimmy left/right at the front all the time...
5. Renault 19 with the most alarming big end knock that never actually crapped out.
The good stuff;
1. Cadillac CTS, just got rid cos I don't drive anymore
2. Alfa 75 TS, best drive of all the cars I've had.
3. Lancia Gamma Coupe, had two of those, beautiful car
4. 1976 Aston Martin DBS V8, only had it a few weeks, clutch was monumentally heavy, left leg was shaking after the East Lancs Road commute I was on then.
5. Audo Quattro 200, unstickable.
6. Cadillac Convertible, 1963, cool as fook, rusted away....
7. Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, 1975, 8.2 litre, 180hp, but could pull a tree stump out of the ground easy...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
