Default New to Jaguar and the Forum from NC/ USA

Newly retired and having always wanted a Jaguar, I bought a friend's 97 X300 Vanden Plas as my daily driver and my 'newest' model car! With only 82000 pampered, well maintained miles it even smells new. So now I only drive 'classic' cars ( what very little driving is being done in the age of the virus..) --either a 72 Citroen DS, 72 Citroen SM, 66 Tbird, or the lovely Jaguar. We have a VW wagon in the house for pine straw and dog transportation- but having 4 classics to choose from has put a broad smile on my face.
I know from the Citroen experience how important a Forum can be, and the experience out there to help us maintain and enjoy these vehicles.
John
