Default Hello from New Jersey

Hi all,

First I'd like to thank this forum for helping me make the leap to buying a Jag. I spent countless hours reading the posts here trying to learn all i could so I'd know what I was getting into.

Having never driven one, never actually seen one in person, I decided I had to have a used 2003 Black XKR Convertible with 48k miles, that was literally half way across the country. I flew out, picked up my new baby, and we became acquainted on the 1200+ mile drive back home. Definitely a leap of faith, but she fits me like a glove and purred like a kitten the whole way. I can officially say I am in love with my Jag and look forward to continuing to learn from this forum.

Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the forum Dave,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.


All that careful research and you still went ahead and bought one! ()

You've obviously already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy XKR and the forums.

Graham

Thanks Graham!

I'm pretty careful to always make informed decisions. That doesn't mean they're good decisions, just informed.

Welcome.

1200miles, so a lunch run then, WELL DONE.

Many would not do that., I do, and constantly state, "ya gotta have FAITH mate", mainly in the V12 sections.

Well done.
