My first Jaaaaaag. Jaguar XF 3.0DS

[SlimRick]

Picked up my first ever Jaguar this morning. Can't believe I've waited so long to get one, what a fantastic car!

The way it accelerates is unnatural - there's some kind of wizardry at work I think.

I'm not sure if this car is cursed, or if bad luck comes in threes and now I'm out of the woods.
Day one. Took the family out for a spin, killed a bunny resulting tears from my 7 year old and dirty looks from the OH
Day 21, turbo pipe comes loose. Restricted performance all the way back to the dealer to be fixed.
Last Friday, some dozy mare reverses into the front of it, £1800 repair quote and not a scratch to her car.

Some pics after a good polish, and before the prang:



Both of the fleet...who buys black cars? They're a bh to keep clean.

Hope you've got a really good reason why it's not an SV8?

Yes.....

Took a gentle trip late last week:



And also put her to use as my wedding car on Saturday:

The old girl is still going strong. Just ticked past 120k miles a few weeks ago so I treated her to a good clean, polish and wax.
