Hi everyone - been a Jag owner/lover for years now & after another car change I thought I'd join the community!
I've just bought a brand new Kyanite Blue XK-R Coupe which I'm due to collect in just under 2 weeks.
I said I was a Jag lover - so my previous cars (newest first) have been:
'60 Jaguar XJ-3.0 Portfolio (SWB) - Just traded in for the XK-R!
'10 Jaguar XK-R 5.0 Coupe (Kyanite Blue)
'08 Jaguar XK-R 4.2 Coupe (Midnight Black)
'04 Jaguar XK-R Convertible (Midnight Black)
'01 Jaguar XK-R Coupe (Saphire Blue)
'97 Jaguar XK-8 Coupe (Antigua Blue)
Quite a history as you can see - I did have a stint in a BMW X5 4.4 & a 5.0L Supercharged Range Rover Sport but returned to the brand both times!
I had my '60 XJ for just over a year now - but having had a few recurring problems (all fixed under warranty) I decided I should never have left my '10 XK-R in Kyanite which I must say was the best car I've ever owned!
Can't wait to pick 'Jenny the Jag' up & looking forward to some 'enthusiastic' drives on some of Dorset's B-Roads in the not too distant future.
Hopefully with such a varied history I will be able to contribute to some of the posts - I should say I've averaged between 30-40K miles per annum in each car so they have all had to work hard!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
@Translator: I went for the XJ for the main reason that have 3 young kids (now 6, 4 & 17Mths) - also I felt it was time for a change of scenery so to speak!
I missed the XK-R like mad though & bought a new Q7 for the Wife in March....so the car seats are out + the XK-R is back!! I also had some recurring issues with the XJ which made me fall out of love with it - I do fairly high mileage in my cars each year & eventually lost my patience I suppose!
I'm picking up the new car next Saturday with my excited 4YR old boy! My daughter came with me on an overnight 'Road-trip' to pick up the XJ last year; so I can't make a difference now he's old enough!
