Hello Jaguar Enthusiasts,
My name is Tony K., and I am a four-time Jaguar owner. Previously owned two Series III XJ6s (1984, Grosvenor Brown and 1987, Westminster Blue), and have since come to really enjoy the X300 series XJ6s. I've had a Topaz 1996 XJ6 for about a year, and just recently purchased a Sapphire Metallic 1995 Vanden Plas.
My wife and I use these cars as daily drivers. I am more of a mid-engined sports car guy (my first automotive passion are Lotus Esprits, and we have a Lancia Scorpion, too). A Porsche 944S2 also shares daily driving duty with the XJ6s. So as I said, I'm more of a sports car guy, but when it occurred to me that it might be beneficial to own a car that can carry four in comfort, my opinion quickly formed that a Jaguar was the best way to do it. They offer an experience and "sense of occasion" that no other sedan does. For their time/era, any generation XJ is a solid, well-built car with good safety ratings. And the straight sixes are fantastic engines. I'm quite happy with these XJs!![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Anyway, I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, and always enjoy meeting other car enthusiasts.
And to those who celebrate it, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!![Big Grin](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Cheers,
Tony K.
