You can all rest easy. I went full EV earlier in the year. I knew someone had to save the planet, so I answered the call.
My dick gets hard just thinking about the reduction in my carbon footprint. Thankfully I’m so forward thinking, I totally ignore what it actually cost in real terms to build the car as that’s in the past.
Look at this post as confirmation I care even if the rest of the world doesn’t. You’re welcome

The X-Type was the Mondeo in drag. Drove like one too, don't care what anyone says. That was a strange time for Jaguar, the S-Type looked similar from the back to the X but that was primarily Jaguar designed and shared with Lincoln Ford, so felt like a Jaguar should. I had the S-Type R, I'd definitely own one again, probably going to shoot up in value before long, they've already started to hold and slowly increase.

My mate had the X Type it was front wheel drive so not a true executive car but the previous owner had it converted it to LPG so cheap to run.

Following a incident on the M5 Gloucester on the 29/5/21 in which I was driving with my wife (30 weeks) & her parents my Lexus (S190) is no more & is awaiting auction at Copart Bristol, insurance settled.
Sad times

Bike looks great geotrig
Thanks guys for the kind words
I decided to stay JPN for my next car as you can't beat their engineering standards even if it looks like more like a tarts parlour inside

My mate came over in this earlier new company car free charging at work & only 1% company car tax, strange experience

Very bland on the inside though.
