Hi All

After a lot of consideration over the years, we finally dove in and joined the Jag generation. Found a skookum good deal on a '96 VDP.


Just got home.

This is the first time I have driven a Jag ( I have owned a number of Porsche's, BMW's and even some BL cars over the decades) After a 3 hour drive home, I can say "I GET it!" I understand why folks can get so passionate about these cars.

 

Ken, you have started down a very slippery slope. This is your first Jaguar but will not be your last…they are indeed highly additictive because there is something undefinably attractive about them; they are more than machines. They speak to your soul.

 

Yes....already looking at a couple more x300 generations just to be sure I have plenty of spares....

This one if for my wife, so I have to play nice with it. Now I want one I can 'tinker' with, perhaps an nice XJR or 12L

cheers
K

 

Well Its done, bought another Jag already - 1998 XJ8 VDP
-Skiing down that slope with great enthusiasm.

 

Funny, I picked up a Jag (2013 XFR) and it sits beside my wife's Mustang (2006 Convertible) so somewhat similar garage layout.
(Nova Scotia, Canada)

She's cut off her arm to have a matching '67 but not sure how much she'd drive something that difficult to replace.

RE: JFSTANG
Hello, I joined a few months ago, with my 2001 S Type 4.0. It's the wife's "boytoy", kept in pretty nice condition (the other garage queen is a restored 67 GT Mustang fastback, good company for the Jag). Live in Ontario, not far from Toronto area.
Cheers all

 

Hi from Thunder Bay ( and area ) Geraldton Ontario for the summer. I purchased a 2004 Jag xkr she is a beaty people admire it when I am out in the citty driving around. Sad to say but some one jelouse I am figuring thought stealling a part off the car was the thing to do. It take all kinds Im afraid. Hopefully I will be able to find a replacement part for the back window. Its the wiper blade I think its called. I just wanted to introduce myslef as new owner of a old car. ha. Well old man with a old car is maybe closer to the truth haha.

 

Hi Preston, if you still have your car, do you want to meetup?

I have a 2013 XFR

I just went looking in the forum for other Halifax based members.

 

Hi Birdman, congrats on your new to you Jag and welcome to the loony bin. You're going to love driving it especially on the highway. If you're looking for parts check out Soughtout1 on ebay. He as helped me out with parts including the front hood badge someone stole. Another good resource is the members marketplace. Just follow the link on the top of the page and make a parts wanted ad. Good luck from one old man with an old car to another.

 

Thanks so much, I think I see u r from London Ontario,have sisters there.
I was born actually so I do go there to visit family. I'm not sure I would drive the old girl that far but would love to have her on the open road trip.

​​​​​​Thanks again nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome and information.

Cheers
James

 

This is great to have a Canadian section! Cheers to all those involved

 

Sadly the Canadian section is a little quiet, haven't visited myself in awhile but just picked

up another F-type so thought I would see if anyone was still on here.
