Since a while I was looking for a new hobby car. wanted a W124 mercedes with a lovingly 6 in line or the mighty V8. But all came seeking some other models in my path. So I just can test drive an Alfa Romeo 166 3.0 V6 (what a powerful device) and a Jaguar S-Type 4.0 V8. and the car in this review. Actually, I was not here at all looking at me but he was around and look ah could do no harm.

So on a Friday afternoon, I went there. Without purse, because I know myself. I always let me easily convinced and did not even make a purchase with my heart. But the friendly seller and the car had completely packed me. What a mighty fine automobile and what a luxury and comfort. And then turned the V8 also wonderful in the background. I thought only one thing: BUY !! But fortunately not captured purse so I could reflect on the weekend again.

And to think I did. All weekend I was working on the car. I could afford it, write what the other about this model and how the car is known to all forums. So Monday morning phoned the friendly seller and taken the car. Final he did some of the price, so I could take the car for € 1,850. What is exceptionally cheap. Because obviously two things could mean, 1 he has hidden defects and a minute at the MOT turns out that I bought a disaster or 2- I have a lot of luck and heaps of cars bought for little.

But first enjoy, on to my parents, grandfather and sisters who were all impressed. The car looks fantastic. despite the high km position the car still to get a ring. Is still very good in the paint and the interior is also very neat. (only loosely sitting dear, seems to be a weakness of this model)

Tomorrow (17 June 2015) I drive my first long ride. On to my sister in Rotterdam (200 km one way) So today filled up the tank (Euro95) and inflated tires. wonder how the car holds. So soon more about this adventure. Pictures will follow soon. Questions are always welcome.

yesterday made the ride. What a lovely smooth moving car is it. the rest on board is fantastic. Row average of 100 km / h to 110 km / h and as much as possible on the cruise control. on-board computer car shows that we have consumed an average of 10.9 liters per 100 km / h. But the actual use, I will still mention when I packed the car throw. What is striking is that despite the car does not feel very great length and width. Say snug. You have the idea that you should drop it in the car.

Which immediately noticed how lovely sitting chairs. Even after nearly 200 km stage I completely rested. The electric adjustable seats and steering wheel are very easy to set up an ideal sitting position. The music system is, despite his age still very good. I'm going to do little to change. I do know what I'm gonna do it soon .. a new wiper, this is really worn. Will regularly provide updates on this wonderful car.

Date: October 22 2015
Mileage: 260 450

Thus the APK behind. Was nothing else to hand. Came through without a problem. What actually still a bit of a surprise. Apparently still not bought cat in the bag. Should also mention that I have put four new Pirelli's and also aligned under the car. (costs were € 750) but is so delicious touring again another year.

I also use the recently updated a bit. But driving around 1 to 9 with the Jaguar. With particular highway km driven. And what kind of mileage. What a joy and peace and comfort, this car. Clearly built for highway mileage.

next time there is still some maintenance on the schedule. So I would like the machine to give a good rinse. If I do not drive the car off after a week he shoots really in first gear. What really weigh a shock brings. Once the gearbox is hot, it switches extremely smoothly and jolt-free.

I also noticed that the interior light and lights sometimes flicker softly. as if he gets less stress. It is not always but sometimes plays that problem is located at. There must be also looked at. But until then drive tasty.

(I still here proffesorisch the dakhemeltje made. with badges on each 10 by 10 cm apart. Now the veil hangs no more and it looks pretty ok from. As long as I replace it yet let me do so. pretty content note)
