G'day
A real Jaguar.
I have seen the car before at a Jaguar club meeting.
Congratulations.

Peter -
The wife is always right. How on earth did you get so confused?
By the way, they are starting to come out with 8 and 16 gig flash
memory cards, they cost somewhere around $100 to $200 USD.
Back to cars - I thought you'd like to know I finally decided to get a
Jag Saloon, although I decided to go for the full whack rather than a
MkII or S-Type:

As they say, that's a "proper car." RHD from Sydney via California, 3
owners from new, 70,000 documented miles. Now if I only had the dosh
to fill up her mega dual tanks!
Best,
Alan
