How safe is it to drive cars like that over there? Chris, did you ever feel 'unsafe' over there? I have no experience of SA.

Chris Harris outs himself as a Judith Chalmers Wish You Were Here wannabe crossed with Daily Express style jingoist, in transparent attempt to revive dead cat, in vain.

Two uber Jag-sympathetic pieces on the trot. Hmmm.

I think where Jag is concerned you might be suffering from the very lack of objectivity you're quick to accuse others of.

However having read your other posts, I like your style.

O/T Intersting discussing this. Given that we're told the most popular post-lottery-win automotive purchase is... a Ford Festa ... a £40k van sets the bar considerably higher.

Then there's the fact that a lot of people eschew ostentation, even if they do feel their extant wheels aren't everything they'd like. I understand vans are where it's at for the rich & famous - low key on the outside and as luxurious/bling [delete as you see fit] on the inside as any other form of transport.

Apart from being sick to the back teeth of the whole "VW is unilaterlly cool" thing, what's up with a 'flash van' as a dream?

I thought Audi's were the most popular lottery win car purchases? (says a lot)

My dad had a Series 3 XJ when I was 17 and I loved driving it. Was so amusing filling it up with fuel, then popping around to fill up the other tank too. God, imagine how depressing that would be at today's fuel prices?

I know I have to own a Jag at some point (even if just in memoriam) however I'm very much in the BMW mould at the moment. For me, it's the tech, and the fact that I'm not quite in the price band for a XFR. XFR over M5....mmmmmm....toughie that one...
