Default Hello Ya'll. New Jag owner from Texas!
I'm Howard. I took the opportunity and just bought a 2006 Jaguar XKR Victory Edition Convertible. I'm really happy about my new baby. I'm hoping to get some questions answered and learn some things here that can help me keep her fresh for years to come.

Hi Howard, you will find great info in the XK FAQ's. Looks like you are in the right place to enjoy a rag top.

The rag top was awesome this past weekend. Cruised up and down the Galveston Seawall with the wife. I must've seen at least 4 other new convertibles with dealer tags like mine cruising the seawall Saturday as well. Only none of them were a Jag.

Welcome to the forum; I know you will enjoy it, and even more so if you regularly contribute posts to it. I'm even further up the rode in Dallas. Go Rangers!

Just like the 2006 XKR, but with the carbon fiber interior, 20 in BBS rims, Brembo brakes, a few distinct design additions (emblem) and Bluetooth basically.

Hey from Dallas also. Nice car. I've had two of that style. Always a head turner and fun to drive. I've had 16 and counting...
