Default Hello from Baltimore!

Hi everyone!
I posted a few times here years back (actually the first time I ever drove a Jaguar), and now that I finally got to a point in life where I've bought one, I figured it's time to actually be active and introduce myself.

I work on bicycles as my current job, am in college for Physical Sciences(think Engineering+Physics+Compsci), and any other time, try to be as hands-on as possible, whether it's working on a car, electronics, whatever.

I've driven an '00 Eclipse GT for the past three and a half years. It was my first car. Not a bad start, but I realized it's just not what I wanted as a daily driver, as well as being too small for me to sit up straight, and too loud on the highway.



Yesterday I took delivery of a 99 XJR mechanic special with 98k mi, complete with the tensioner rattle, some kind of battery drain, and who knows what else. Completely rust free, could use a repaint though. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot about it once the semester is over and i have time to dig through and see what other scary expensive issues await...



There it is! See you on the x308 forums!

Welcome to the forum nilanium,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I see you were considering an X350 back in 2014 but have finally gone for the previous model.

Follow this link XJ XJ8 / XJR ( X308 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X308 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please 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 can also visit the US Mid Atlantic Region forum by following this link US Mid Atlantic - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
