    I dunno, personally I'd like to thank Leena for the tips.....A public service as it were.

    Next time I buy a box of cigars on line...oops "are it on lie" Some basic tips when you want to buy a cigar are it online or at a cigar shop. I will check the firmness and the wrapper color of the contents prior to hitting enter on my order, even tho I am 800 miles away from the online retailer and the box is wrapper in cello.........yeah that's it. Maybe I can talk the lovely young ladies that take my JR order into running down to the football stadium sized humidor and pull out a box of El Cruditos and check for me.

    Hey Coventry, nice car, I have an 87, my go to car for long rides with a cigar..can't beat the mix of Connolly and cigar

    LMAO!

    Garbanzo, the one in the photo is an '86 and I also have an identical '87 (same color) that I'm working on. The engine blew in the '86 so I haven't driven it in quite some time. I have a '96 VDP for my daily driver:

    TBSCigars - "On Holiday"
    Grammar - It's the difference between knowing your crap and knowing you're crap.

    Nice color,

    I actually just sold my 96 VDP w/130,000 last week to my nephew..for not much. Pretty car, light green w/tan interior. Bought it in 02 for $15,500...love depreciation on Jags!! The wheels, (same as yours), really started pitting and I never drove it in the winter

    It was bullet proof except for the shifter cable kept doing odd things and it would pop out of park quite often......W/ a 5 year old (as of YESTERDAY), around the house I had to ditch it.

    Will probably get another next year, would like a 2001-2003 V8 but unless you get a VDP the interiors are sparse. My dream would be a 2001 XK8 but I would rather have the coupe.

    Enjoy your 96, I like the 4.0 ltr straight six as an historic point but I hated getting blown away by Kias. My current ride is a Volvo AWD wagon, (live in snow country in Upstate NY), very sexy.

    oh well, apologies to all for going off topic....but cars are cool too!!

    LOL, I don't measure mileage .... I'm into time zones now!

    Being in the middle of Iraq the closest place to me with a decent humidor is Kuwait International, and even then its not as good as some of the B&M's I've been in.

    LOL - you guys are harsh. Comments are hilarious though.

    Hope Leena has some thick skin and a sense of humor.

    Harsh? Man this is nothing.

    You should try being in our office. The dead baby jokes, the name calling, the swearing, the "I saw your sister the other day, but didn't bother her cuz she was on her street corner." .... you'd think we were family or something.
