Mechanical problems and upcoming changes to the MOT next year forced the Xf's removal from service. Before it drains my bank account, I have gotten rid of it. It defies expectations and has been a dependable vehicle up until this point. Even though I'm sure some will find fault with my decision, I'm currently on my way to the United Kingdom to pick up an Audi S3, which looks absolutely stunning. Please keep that monstrous V8 engine humming along, buddy, and I'd like to express my gratitude to folks like Alex for all the helpful advice you've given me.

Do not want another one, please.

Okay, then you can just goof off.

I am joking, my friend. My friend, be careful and savour the Audi.

I went through a similar experience six months ago with my Megane RS300. I miss the Jag's noise and power, but there are some things I don't miss, like the hefty road tax bill, the need to fill up every 120 miles, and the garage calling to inform me that they've discovered a couple of problems.... :LOL:

Even on a daily basis, the S3 will look beautiful.

Pay attention!

A Megane 225 in that vivid blue with yellow accents was purchased by the Mrs. a couple of years ago. Feeling 'raw' was like navigating a go cart. Had a blast 😈

Yeah, it's totally different from the Jag. I mean, it's surprisingly quick for a 1.8 turbo and has a pleasant sound. I'm still getting used to it; I went to Wales a few weeks ago to play around with it, and even in standard form, it handles incredibly well (too well, according to the Mrs., who was on the verge of becoming sick)
