I still have it. ready for the road.. It still looks beautiful but sadly the US authorities won't let me import it into the country.
Would love to hear from other US exiles.
Where are you all?

Why can't you take your Jag into the US? Do the Americans think it's islamic ?

No its to do with emmisions. you can't import any car into america unless your a manufacturer and can provide proof that your car will meet the latest standards. so second hand cars are banned. doesn't matter if its a classic or not. of course I would imagine certain rich individuals could rub a few palms and say its for their museum but I aint in that category just yet.
haven't seen one asian cousin since Ive been here. it really hot every day but the pool is at hand so i aint too worried. and my driver is available most of the time. if I can make it here I will be really happy. just miss United at home and real bread sausages bacon and the usual things like tea .
by the way. would this be Matt I'm chatting to?

No - I'm NOT Matt. How dare you ????!!! I do miss his grown-up posts, though. Good luck in the States - hope it all works out for you.

I'm in Newtown, Connecticut.

I know there's another exile in LA, and I believe one one in the Chicago area. Tom Dart, TUFC fan who used to write at the Times (I think) is now in the Houston area.

so we have fans in Connecticut. Chicago. Wisconsin and houston and I'm in Wilmington Delaware. any others. Do i hear anyone in California. Portland. Colorado. come out come out wherever you are.
Sorry happytorq. because of the way it was written it sounded like the sort of thing Matt would say. lol haven't heard from him in a while but met his mum on the terraces the other week.
