Default Hello from Italy!!

Greeting to all Jag friends!
My name is Gualtiero I am 27 years old and I live in Italy, more precisely in Asti near Turin!
I got into contact with your forum because it has been very helpful to help me solving little problems with my big cat, which now runs great!!
I drive a jag since I was 18 years-old, and I've managed creating in 2005 with some friends the first Italian Jaguarforum!
First cat was a manual 2,5 X-Type in emerald with sand interior.
It got replaced last november with a 1999 XJ8 3.2 litres which used to belong to a friend of the Jaguar Club Italia! The XJ is Meteorite Silver with Ivory leather interior and 17 inch Celtic wheels!! Will put photos and tell you everything I've done to her so far!
In the meantime thank you for letting me join this great family and have a nice day!!

Thanks a lot!! Here are some pics of my current XJ8! She is a 1999 with roughly 100k km on the clock (that is around 62k miles)
This was shot 10 minutes after I got her from the previous owner!!


Some pics after the leaper got installed!!






Just after a Swissvax treatment done by myself


Just installed a Sovereign grille, looks so much better!!


And these last two pics, taken at a Jag meeting near Florence last month! Hope you enjoy!!

Welcome to the forum Gualty86,

Great set of pics. The XJ8 looks superb.

Follow Norri's link to the X308 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.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
