Brilliant, well done.
He looks so happy. Great colour for the Jag

Good on ya, OP!

I gave my bro a car , but it was just a five hundred quid Honda, so not quite the same thing!

Happy ending.

That plate is off an S- or X-type. Weird.

BV, I gave my daughter a "loan" of my lovely old Audi Coupe 2 weeks before Christmas. Still haven't got it back, and I suspect it's gone forever!

She has already told me in no uncertain terms that I can use my garage for a Jag but she's keeping her daily in hers!

That was the rule in our house too. Originally A8HEX lived on one side while LadyB8HEX lived on the other. When I bought an XK150 the A8, the XJ had to live on the drive. Then I bought and XKR fully expecting that would need to live on the drive too.... probably with me in it.
But then she declared that this was silly and B8 lives outside with A8.
So there is a chance
all be it a small one
On the other hand the chances of other halves killing us for our 4 wheeled habits remains high.

What a pair of wimps!!

My Audi lives where I please! (Flexes muscles before cooking the dinner and hoovering all the carpets).

Daddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (says daughter while slowly winding around little finger)

Doesn't quite work so well for sons, mind my eldest was 17 a couple of months back and isn't showing any interest. Over the Christmas break I was trying to entice him off the damn playstation and said, "how do facy going down the car dealer and seeing what you fit into" Nahhhh I think I'll wait till the weather is better and learn in the spring!
I'd have been out of the house like a shot if my Dad had offered to buy me a car.

That is damn games consoles. I'd have every one smashed up if I could. People who are addicted to them (for it IS an addiction) seem to expect that everyone else will build their entire lives around their obsessive need to sit on the wretched things 24/7.

If I were you I'd drop the car idea now and if he ever mentions getting a car tell it's tough luck, he had his chance but was too busy on his stupid machine.

My employers have ludicrously provided an X-Box in the break area, in an office where customers visit, and of the days I am in the office, not one goes by when I don't have to walk in there and ask these stupid addicted zombies to moderate their language.

These machines are becoming a scourge.

I must admit to not understanding why anyone over the age of about 15/16 plays computer games. They seem like brilliant ways to have fun or spend time when you are a child or when you are retired and old with lots of time to kill but once you hit about 16 the outside world beckons.

Mind you, I can see the benefit of putting a games console in the office. It would highlight which employees didn't need a pay rise or bonus to be retained as much as others. Although people's Facebook accounts usually tell employers how little pay increase of bonus they can get away with.

As long as they don't start auditing the time we spend of PH

I was going to do something similar for my FiL. He has always wanted a jag but my MiL always puts him off ("too big", "too expensive"). He has driven a Rover 75 V6 for the last 13 years (from new) - despite buying a new car for the MiL every couple of years.

Plan has been to source a nice Jag but I was looking for the right moment. He then had a nasty accident in it, which pretty much wrote it off. But he only told me after he'd paid over the odds to get it repaired.
