Default Greetings from Thailand

Greetings from Thailand to all Jag nut jobs.

Around 20 years ago I owned a Daimler 250 1967/68 - lovely. After which I had a variety of exotic heaps - but I had been infected with the Jag thing.

A Benz is better, Citroens are more fascinating, Alfas are sexier and a Rolls, Caddie or Lincoln has more gravitas - but a Jag gives pleasure and that's why I just bought another one.

An XJ6 3.2 1992.

A good looker, pale steel blue metallic, straight and clean. Lot of bits and pieces to get right - already did the box, replace expansion tank, front end bushes and there's a list of other things.

Jags are uber expensive in Thailand - they are quite rare and considered special - Rolls status. But practical folk here are generally scared of them. Most mechanics won't touch them. But everyone admires them.

Mercs are all over the place - you can buy parts and get them fixed around the corner from where you live - no matter where you live. I've got a 500 SEL - a reliable grunter in tip top condition - a giant padded box.

I've very much enjoyed and have already been helped reading the posts here and look forward to conversing in the future with this group.



Warm regards,


Christopher D

Welcome to the forum Christopher,

And back to Jaguars.

You probably already know the tech section from your reading here but if not, follow this link XJ40 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XJ40 section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the 'Other Areas' Region section by following this link Other Areas - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in your part of the World.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Welcome to this friendly Forum, Christopher.
Thanks for the interesting intro - better you like Mercs rather than BMWs but both are somewhat agricultural compared with a real car.
Follow Graham's advice and enjoy your membership here.
