Smile New to me 2006 XJ8

Hello everyone: Coming back into the Jaguar fold after 10 years (much-loved 1993 XJ6) due to employer going to car allowance in lieu of company car. I am actually in management at another European dual line car dealership so my purchase is currently being frowned upon. I am amazed how closely the ride/drive/handling is to my old car despite all the technology on the '06 (which is a good thing). The added power of the 4.2 V8 and better mpg to boot is a huge bonus. My car is a somewhat rare 2006 53k mile SWB in Slate over Dove leather- I love the style of the car but my kids would have preferrred a LWB. Oh well.

Hello Greg and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
