Default Just got my F-Type/Other Female Owners?
I just got my F-Type and I'm walking around with a stupid grin on my face. I know you all can relate.

2017 Premium Convertible (Base engine)
Italian Racing Red
Camel seats/beige top
Premium and Vision Pack
Active Exhaust
Extended leather pack

I'm curious, are there any other female f-type owners on here? If not I hope you guys can still welcome me to the boys club.

Your car is GORGEOUS!!! Welcome to the club! Kinda crazy how it puts a grin on ones face almost as big as the one on the front of the car itself.

We had a few female owners early on, but they've mostly disappeared. Welcome!

Honestly I rarely see women *driving* Jags. Riding in them yes.

Also, didn't we have a young girl XK8 owner on the forums that turned out to be some Harvard math genius?

Posts like this are probably why the few women we had here have left.

My wife is an XE owner. She loves it so much I cant get her to drive the f type but I keep offering. My guess is that secretly she doesnt want to fall in love with the f type (and the attention it gets) and cool off on the XE. She's a real jaguar fan, but doesnt participate on the forum.

I've seen at least three female F-Type drivers around here. For F-Types I've seen on my commute, that's probably 50%.

Welcome Van to our, as you've now seen, somewhat disfuctional but friendly family. We certainly need a female perspective here! Just please don't try to redecorate the place too much. Don't take the zoo animals too seriously.

Car looks fantastic. Your gonna love it.

I almost took offense to that, but I'm a free-range lizzardo.

Congrats on the car and the grin! I've had my F Type R for a couple of months now and the grin just keeps getting wider

I bought an F-Type for my Wife last Christmas and She absolutely loves "him" it's her Daily Driver, His name is James, after 007.

I'm sure you love yours just as much Van.
