Sambist admiring Anne's classic Jaguar XJ-S from the front, March 08.....

     

... until he saw the damage caused by a truck hitting the back at 40 mph (writing off the car).

What do YOU reckon Sambist (or Anne) is thinking?

 

 

George Roughton
Sambist: "Really Anne, as I have told you many times, when the parking bay is 12ft long and the car is 14 ft long, it is bound to end in a scratch or two."

Hillary Brookes
Sambist: "From the front, it is really quite pretty, but the rear was definitely designed on a Friday."

Anonymous
Sambist: "From now on, I am sitting IN the vehicle, not standing in a horse-box behind it."
Alex Wright
Sambist: "OK Anne, I have completed the smell test front and back. I think the crash test from the back has passed, so now just the crash test at the front and you can write the review for the 'Jaguar' magazine, and then give it back to the garage."

John Longdon
Anne: "You see Sambist, it is really very clever; with this minor redesign, I can now go on holiday as I can get my two largest suitcases in the boot."

Jackie Pringle
Sambist: "That'll teach you to hide sugar lumps in the boot"

Richard Folwell
Sambist: "I did warn you Mrs Brown, either give me my oats or the Jag gets it again!"

Richard Folwell
Alan: "When I said 'go down the bookies and back Sambist' I didn't mean into the rear of the blasted car!"

Headline in the Sun: 'RANDY NAG SHAGS JAG'

Marlene Luther, Berlin
Anne: Well, I'm not going to let YOU drive again, Sambist!

Melanie Jobin, Grenoble
Sambist: Do you think they will EVER let you in the Jaguar Club now?
Robert Cracknell
Sambist: "With a bit more horse power you could have avoided the shunt"
Peter Orme
Sambist: "Those three point turns are not as easy as they look."
Joanna Orme
Sambist: "Well, it smelt like a mare!"
Karen Orme
"Next time, I'm driving!"
Kath Cassedy
Sambist: "<sigh> Yes, Anne, I'll explain about the birds and the bees to Salim ... again."

Anne Brown (from Yaxley)
Sambist: “I’d rather use my four legs than your four wheels any day if that’s the respect you get with a ‘posh car’. They always give us ‘posh horses’ much more room than that!”
