Bought a x type jaguar diesel 2 weeks ago,
I have been to south of france and back and it has been superb,only thing is every other one i have seen seems to be driven by gentlemen of advancing years,
ok i am not young at 38 but i think i am getting old before my time,(ps if any one has a cheap pipe and slippers i might be interested).

    Nah, of course you're not. You just have class, I had an XJ6 when I was 32.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Don't let that bother you, if you like it! If people mention old age to you just remind them that at least you can afford one before you really have advanced in years!!!

    38 is fairly young for a jag driver...

    I know Jag is attempting to make itself appeal more to the 'Young professionals', but you have to start forking out £80k before looking 'super cool' :|

    My dad has just bought 2 jags! (think he's having a midlife crisis!) and he's 58. BUT if i could afford a jag and the upkeep i would buy one without a shot! I'm 26 and female! So no def not an old man car! Happy driving!.....
    As long as its not the jag that looks like a rover, not a good look.

    Well.....a car is about what u want from it and how much u can afford. Age for me is not an issue as to the type of car I drive. If jags do it for u then jags it is.

    I've had peugeot 205, corolla, bmw 318is, micra, bmw323 ci and now a 11 yrs old ford fiesta which cost me £600 a couple of weeks ago. I've been driving for 12yrs and have got to the stage where it does not bother me what anyone think of my car.
  • Jags are cool, I bought my first one at 31 a 4 litre XJ40, sold it this year and now got a 3 litre X-Type Sport and I'm also 38. Get yourself over to the Jaguar World forum, lots of young members there and good fun.

    My stepfather has a 1992 XJ6 with V8. Think it's the V8 anyway, I'm not up on my Jaguars. :o

    He let me drive it once but it was exceptionally boring as he wouldn't let me go above 30mph. :rotfl:

    That will be a straight 6, last of the proper Jags, V8's didn't come out till '97.
