Motoring Issues

Once upon a time there was a small boy, about seven years old, who had taken an interest in cars at a rather early stage, mainly thanks to his old man, who was (and, thankfully, still is) a car enthusiast and, back in those days, a staunch supporter of a certain Southern German marque. This naturally meant that the small ...

4.5

Alexander Stoakley, 08 June 2010 09:16

Those of us that are fathers or expectant fathers, and also like driving must have occasionally daydreamed about what would happen if their wife suddenly went into labour at home and things progress rather more quickly than the oh-so-reassuring leaflets the NHS give out. Resulting in a truly heroic drive to the hospital, arriving, against all odds, just before the ...

One big cat to another: a reader swaps Puma for XF

Anonymous, 07 June 2010 09:52

My history with Jaguar stretches back about 20 years. I was a typical Italian child: curious and so thirsty for knowledge. Unfortunately due to an illness when I was seven, I collapsed into a coma but thanks to the support of family and friends made a full recovery. Since then I live happily every day, and Jaguar has become an ...

Michael Leek, 01 June 2010 18:52

As a young boy in the early 1960s, I would trek solo to our local auto show in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While other boys and their dads would make a beeline to the latest Corvettes and later American muscle cars, I would always head first for the Jaguar stand. I found the combination of different styling, luxurious wood and leather interiors ...
