Default Bonjour from a UK expat

Bonjour tout le monde from France. I am a UK expat and have lived over here for 25 years.

I recently sold my soulless Mk6 Golf GTI for my first ever Jag, a UK-sourced 2005 XKR 4.2S. I have had a few minor ****les with the car, but nothing I haven't been able to sort out myself and am now looking forward to using the car in the spring and summer.

I also drive a 1998 Mazda MX5 (also bought in the UK for just £2000), a Renault Espace, enfants obligent, and a Ford Transit for work.

pretty car, welcome to the group! We've got several members from your area, maybe you'll run into them around here...and then have coffee, or tea together someday (ok, that's optimistic on the distance you are from each other)

Enjoy the forum!

Welcome to the forum Frog, from another long stay expat. You will certainly turn some heads pootling around in that gorgeous XKR.

Good to have you with us.

Welcome to the forum Frog,

That looks perfect for cruising round the French byways.
