Default Hello from Vancouver Island...

Just placed a deposit on a '97 XJR owned by a local enthusiast... We'll pick her up before the end of the month.

I've been a Jag fan since working as a gas jockey in the early nineties... There was a Vanden Plas that used to come in regularly.

Welcome to the forum Schmirtz,

Follow Norri's link to the X308 tech 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

Enjoy the XJR and the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Where about in Vancouver Island? My fiance and I went there last year, and we made ourselves a promise to go back an stay longer. I can still remember seeing an adult bald eagle perched just 5 feet from us on a railing at Fisgard lighthouse, and watching a pod of whales during the crossing back to Canadian mainland!
