Just bought my first Jaguar

We weren't planning on replacing my car until Spring but my "work car" blew a water pump yesterday.
Since we needed to replace it anyway there was this beautiful one owner 2000 S-Class with 65K miles at a local lot at a price I thought was too good to pass up. It will need a windshield eventually and the Dealer is putting in a new AC compressor. There is a scuff on the front bumper and a couple of small parking lot type dings but otherwise the body is immaculate. Some cracking on the interior panels and leather. Overall it's in extremely good shape for a car that's been in this climate for 20 Years.
That was the 4th Jag. I'd test driven in the last couple of months and thanks to reading these forums I avoided at least one bad mistake.
I've wanted one since the first time I ever drove one. A '67 E-Type that I was driving back to the Dealer from the auction in Minneapolis 40 Years ago and now I finally have one. (Yes, I was the first one home)

Thanks for the welcome. I'll post some pictures after I take delivery.
My Lady is already insisting I get vanity plates that say "MR TOAD" for it. I had to show her that the published Quarter Mile and 0-60 times for the S are only slightly better than her Lacrosse.
I think she's just jealous
