Default First Jaguar - 2006 S-type R

I just realized that there was a welcome thread. I purchased a 2006 s-type R that was a trade at Mercedes - Greenway in Houston. The car replaces a BMW 530i that was the daughter's high school car and met its end at the hands of a Kia Sorrento. The car is mostly driven by the daughter when she's home from school, which is kind of infrequent, and about once a week by me.

I really like the throwback styling cues and could see acquiring a MkII or MkIII if the right car came along. The daughter likes the power and the 4-pot calipers and called it "fabulous" after the first time she drove it.

Other vehicles in the family include a Triumph Thruxton (mine), Lincoln Navigator (wife's), and an FX35 (my commuter).

I tend to do a lot of my own work and usually look to the forums for tech advice.
