Default Hi! New Jag owner

Hi everyone, I'm a new Jag owner. My g/f has always been crazy about Jags and I've always wanted a project car to have around for Sunday drives or whatnot.

Long story short, a man I knew needed to get rid of his 1990 XJS. He was the original owner, the car only has 32,xxx on it and it was $5,000, which was a little more than I was hoping to spend on a project car, but it also was pretty much ready to drive, so I was pretty happy.

I've really fallen in love with the car, as has my g/f. We both love the way it looks and how classy it is.

This car will be a long-term project and I'm pretty dedicated to fixing whatever it will ever need. I'm pretty handy, having done all the work on my cars before, but I've never dealt with anything like this.

I'm planning on being around for a while so nice to meet you all and look forward to talking with you all in the future.

PS, for grins, here are a few crappy cell phone pics of the car.
