Hi from Cornwall, UK
Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself as I'm getting stuck into Jaguar ownership.
Picked up my 96' XK8 last week and had some fun cruising around the Cornish roads. Some might say I'm a little young (24) for such a car but I wanted some comfort and can afford it so why not? I'm coming to Jaguars after only owning classic minis (a big jump I know!) but I have learnt to really appreciate good automotive engineering (and cars generally) during my time in mini ownership and I do quite like the British heritage (although I know this is debatable) behind Jaguar. Anyway, I look forward to contributing here as and when I can and generally adding to the community. I have been used to doing all my own work to my cars and whilst I know I'm in a different league now I would still like to do simple things myself and I'm sure I can't be the only one so I'll probably be on here looking for help tinkering with this and that. Before I go, here he is:
