Default First time Jag owner

Hi there. I'm an Englishman who has been living in the states for some time now. Most recently living in Socal, but I still have my home up in Seattle. While I was back up there last week walking the dogs I came across this beast. The guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse and I had to have it. I've always loved Jags but have never actually owned one. (My dad has had a couple way back in the 80's)
I flew back down to Socal, but the missus sorted out the paperwork and now its mine. I have yet to drive it properly, and it does need some TLC, but super pleased to own it.
It does need some things sorted out, I'm guessing some sensors as I have a low coolant warning even though the level is fine, and the paint needs some attention. Hopefully I'll fly back up at the end of the month get some repairs done and drive it back down to Socal.
My current daily driver is a 996 C4s Cab, which I've put 22,000 miles on this past year, so I'm hoping to give it a bit of a break, and use the Jag to commute to work.
I only have the one picture of the Jag, which my wife sent me, and here's a couple of the daily driver.



New to me, 99 Vanden Plas
