    I'm sure they keep you in showroom condition. :)) I love Jags too.
    So I'm sure you'll enjoy it {[]

    Yeah, I'm gutted. Even though the jag x-type is only 9% mondeo, you can probably tell I'm even less bothered. I've even highlighted the award given where production of the x-type was taking place, to save you announcing incorrectly (a trait of yours) that the majority of the awards were given outside of x-type production years.

    Jeremy '..in the wurld' Clarkson even said about the mondeo link; "genetically, you are 98% identical to a halibut, but it's the 2% that makes the difference".

    This is where you differ from the rest of the planet.

    Now shut up before I have to shoot you down via copy and pasting wiki pages again.

    Ok, that being 98% a halibut explains the strong smell around you, whenever I am meeting you :))

    In your case these 2% differ you from a salmon :D

    OK, I've got it! The Mondeo is a great car, but why pay for 2 and receive 1 Mondaguar? ?:)

    Because for the price I paid you can't buy a mondeo with the same level of spec on it.

    Yes, you did read that right, I bought a jag cheaper than an equivelent mondeo.

    I once had a Corgi Jag and was pretty chuffed with it, so I can only imagine what it feels like to own a real one. You forgot one award though:

    10JUL14 AJB 'Car of the Day'
  • minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
    Must admit, it's great when people ask what car ya drive and you can answer with Rog Moore style eyebrow and Terry Thomas bounder face "me? Oh, I drive a jaaaag"

    Yes it'll cost, but I don't care, I love owning it.

    Government Guidelines ...

    Is there anything our government doesn't have guidelines for ??

    So sick that everyday there is some advice on some rubbish or other. Eat this, don't eat that. Drink that, don't drink this. Cook in this oil, don't eat wholemeal bread, cheese will kill you, shoes give you cancer .... :s :s :s :s

    They spout so much nonsense I don't listen to any of it ....

    Now, where's my wine ? ... :p

    So true though - but what really annoys is that in 12 months they completely reverse their advice :s X-(
