Hi from the sunny south coast of England. I have a 96 XJ 4.0 HO Sport, RHD of course. It's my 2nd XJ, and has been my daily driver for the last 9 years. Stock apart from 235 BFG A/T's.

I've been thinking of trading up to a WJ, but I'm just a bit too attached to my ol' XJ.

Any other Limeys on this forum?

 

There are few others on from around you. So hows the snow been in marry old England... Heard you got some decent amounts this time around...

Oh, and welcome from across the pond in MI, USA

 

Laughable really. We get a couple of inches of snow and the whole country grinds to a halt. Roads, buses, trains, planes, even the Tube (London Underground). I was the only one that made it into work on Monday, apart from a few that live within walking distance. We get snow so rarely that people are frightened of it.

This was the scene on the A3 - a major route into London. Can you see any snowploughs? No! The Local Highway Authorities de-commissioned them because of global warming!

 

LOL, ya I was chatting with a friend in Amberdean(SP?) and she was complaining about having to drive her little car to the store... LOL

She stopped when I sent her the photo of my XJ up to its doors in snow...

Time to throw a small plow on and start charging people to plow them out!

 

Welcome to Cf from Buck in Washington state, USA!!

 

hey mate and welcome ,looks rather cold over there at the mo..great forum and very helpful...do you follow the rugby over there? or football...anyways welcome again from the kiwi..

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

No, I don't follow rugby or football. I'm into musclecars (I have a 70 Dodge Coronet R/T), NASCAR, skiing, and horses.

 

Welcome from TEXAS. We just had another member join from England. sluggy is his screen name. Don't remember if he stated exactly where in England. Glad to see that the XJ helped you get to work.

 

Welcome to CF from Va.

 

Welcome to CF from COS!!

 

Dude, if you like NASCAR, Musclecars, 4wheeling and horses, then you are no windowlicker!!!!!!!GO DALE JR. NUMBER 88!!!How did you get your hands on a '70 Coronet over in England? That car must be worth a fortune over there.

 

Hi Brian. I've had a few American cars over the years, 55 Chevy, 66 Mustang, 68 Roadrunner. I currently have a 07 Mustang GT too. I tend to keep them a long time and spend far too much money on them.

The Coronet is one of only 2 R/T's in the UK. It was imported in 1980, and I had my eye on it for a while before I finally got the opportunity to acquire it in 1998. Actually I swapped it for my '55. The R/T is probably worth more back in the States than here, but I don't plan to sell it any time soon. Musclecars are a very narrow niche market over here. If you're interested in more details, I made a page about it at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/267096

Cheers
Adam
