Next, you'll be wearing anoraks and standing by the motorways with a notebook, to become "the lesser spotted Jaguar spotters".:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

There was a beautiful autobiography parked near my "normal" parking space in Asda - a mile away from the entrance and trolley parks.

Was going to park right next to it and take a pic but then thought that would be quite annoying for both of us!

That's not parked, that's abandoned.
And would worry me that someone would see it as possibly trying to take two spaces to avoid door dings - and park even closer on RHS.....

I've spotted only one or two xjs in Swansea and Bristol. When you wave thinking "they must have spotted the grille, they'll be looking and smiling"..... then just drive with their blinkers on!

Even my 8yr old daughter picks up on it, she loves spotting a jaguar badge and comments.

On M4 the other day think there was about 6 of us in space of about 100m although all others were XF she clocked them and laughed at how many we had seen
 
I thought you'd had a restraining order against 'curtain twitching'
 
Swansea - Bristol - Swansea.... not a single lesser spotted XJ to be seen

Are we reporting X351's even if we don't see the number plate?
I may be mistaken but don't think any Terms Of Reference were set, and as we have discussed Argentinian dictators cars should be OK to post without a UK reg....
 
Were Terms of Reference ever agreed and signed off by the forum on the rules for spotting ....😆

I've not seen an XJ on the road for ages but today I saw 2. Driving back from the dentist, I saw a white one on the Marchwood bypass (near Southampton) and a greyish one shortly afterwards on the M27.
Did the white one have missle launchers?
 
Bristol to Swansea this morning and didn't spot any. Funnily enough no XFs either, just one XE and an S Type

The S Type is a rare beast nowadays.
Indeed she slipped onto the M4 at Port Talbot steel works with a good presence. So much so I nipped into outside lane anticipating her sliding past the crawler lane into middle - which she took

80 mile trip to Bristol this evening. One mile leaving from house and see this at Penllergaer Roundabout queuing to get on M4. Excuse the dirty windscreen. I think I am probably leading the "spotting", certainly in Wales 😆



Nice number plate too
 
How many Airport runs to the local kebab shop at 11pm then Bronco? 🤔

A friend of mine who parked in Bristol Airport silver parking a few years ago was told his car was lost.

Was given a hire car to drive back in rather angry, baffled etc.

I think later that day, or day later they located his car. Two guys came down in his car, asked to use the loo, asked if kettle on etc. I would have lost it. Probably not their fault specifically but think they would have been sensitive to situation.
 
I forgot to mention I saw the XJR with the XJR plate again around the local area on Saturday.
