I'm an extremely lucky man. In my Garage I have:
1954 Austin-Healey 100
1961 Austin-Healey Bugeye Racer
1966 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII
1996 Porsche 911 C4 Coupe [993]
2006 Jaguar XK8 Coupe [for sale]
All drivers.
I love British Cars, the Porsche is an anomaly but it's a Porsche, which I will probably sell eventually so I can purchase my Aston-Martin or Bentley Continental!
2014 Harley Night Rod Special (If I'm running late to work)
2015 Tesla Model S (Commuter)
2003 Silverado 2500 (The Workhorse)
1971 Corvette Stingray (Under Construction)
2014 F Type V8S (The Weekend Queen)
Every vehicle has a purpose. I love them all for different reasons.
2017 Volvo S90. I have gotten more compliments on it than any other car I have owned, except the F-Type. Several people have asked if it was a brand new car as there are not many of them around. Volvo SUVs are way more popular.
I have a BMW Z4 35i which is my oldest vehicle. I still love it, but love the F-Type more. I also have a 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, which is my first Porsche, but definitely not my last. I am thinking about adding a Ferrari Portifino to my collection, but not until the situation with chips in short supply, and the increase in pricing. dut to low availability correct itself.
I also believe the Etron is a great second car. Get an Etron and you won't regret it. You will no longer buy gas most of the time except when you're out having fun in your F-type. But make sue you get the Prestige level Etron. We have a first year 2019 and love it, it's so smooth and quiet and powerful!
With always having to carry something, I've always felt we needed an SUV as our second car. My wife currently drives a Jeep Cherokee. When her lease is up we plan to buy an iPace
Never enough. Prefer old school . 1955 ****** Aero, 1957 Ford E code Conv., 1963 Buick Riviera, 1998 XK8 Conv, 1998 Chevrolet pickup, 1999 Ford Lightening Pickup, 2003 Range Rover, 2007 Lincoln Mkz. 2005 Vanden Plas. You can't have too many cars, tools or guns. Everything old like me.
Totally new to British collector cars, in May 2021, I purchased a 1964 Jaguar XKE roadster that had not run for three years and I have been fumbling along trying to get the car sorted out but I don't do my own repairs so I have to have the car repaired by quality Jaguar mechanics. For many years I have owned a 1956 Thunderbird that has been a real joy. Also I have a 1995 Mercedes Benz SL600 which is a relatively new collectible but I have learned that these 90s cars are quite popular with the RADwood group. I have a 1954 Kaiser Darrin that is just the most user friendly collector car that I have ever owned. 1954 Kaiser Darrin, one of the early cars with Champagne White paint, red "x-pattern" interior and moon hubcaps.
We love our F-Type and its not going anywhere. But, I've got a couple of empty spaces in my garage that need filled. We've been looking around at other cars, but to be honest, none of them do it for me like the F-Type, (at least the ones I can afford). Just curious what other F-Type owners have and your thoughts.
XK is daily driver for my Wife, except when roads are mucky. Then she takes the 4Runner. I drive the XF usually, but jump in the XK whenever it is available. 4Runner is the pick-up/People hauler.

Reason: spelling
Just bought a CPO BMW 540i in addition to my XE S. Th G30 540i has bmws supposed most reliable engine, and also depreciates at huge amounts. My original MSRP was 78k and got it with 10k miles for 45k. Some people think bmws lost their touch but this car handles 85% of the XE capacity. I get about 30 mpg on the highway. I really love the interior and the ambient lights.
