Hi everyone.
Looks like I just bought myself a 1998 XJR. Man is it ever pretty. Been well looked after from what I can see. The deal is pending a mechanical inspection. If all goes well, I should be driving by the weekend!
Thanks for a great forum. Having lots of fun here already.

Welcome Erik, glad you decided to join up
Jump in get to know everyone, make a post or two, check out the relevant FAQ sections for your vehicle, off topic section, maybe welcome a fellow newbie here n there........
Before you know it you'll have been here a week or so, will have raised your post count / profile, maybe learned a thing or two / taught us a thing or two and be able to post up pics of your car.......All good

 

Welcome Erik, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Love the XJR.

 

Thanks guys!

Been reading like crazy around here over the last couple of days. Jag ownership does not seem quite as horrifying a proposition as I had thought. I have som experience with Jags, but they were older - a 1987 XJ6 and a 1988 XJS. Did a little wheel time in a 2002 X type 2.5 also. Things seem to have improved a lot since the 80's!

I do appreciate the warm welcome and I hope I can contribute to the growth of this wonderful forum you all have here. Without it, I would certainly not be considering Jaguar ownership at this point.

Not QUITE purchased yet, but very close

Thankfully, the rubber on it is very good. Probably get through this year just fine. Will have to check at tire rack and see what they offer.

 

Wow.
Took a look at the Tire Rack. Didn't know it was that easy to spend $350 per tire at that place. Lots of cheaper options too, but wow!

Ah, the varied joys of Jaguar ownership!

 

Welcome to the forums
I think you will be liking your XJR

 

Thanks!

I am thinking you are right!
