Default Greetings from Middle Earth/NZ

I decided to divorce my Audi A6 and run away with a hot, red 2004 XJ6. Even though the Audi worked well for me, the Jag has the "made for me" feel to it.

Before I get ahead of myself,

I'm James, an American expat living in Auckland, NZ. I cannot wait to go on a grand tour of the country in a red jaguar, something I've wanted for years. Practicality and warnings about reliability be damned... It took awhile to find the right car on the market (magic intersection of an XJ, right price, right condition, right location). The Audi was an admirable stand-by, but every relationship has its limits.


Now for the ****. The pics should be viewable via google drive: Link

Until death do us part...

Welcome.

Yep, the Red ones are the faster ones.

Reliabity issues, that will have that Cat bite ya for sure.

You must be confident, and the later cars are full of it.
