Default New member from France

Hello everyones,

I am a Jaguar maniac from France and I am 32 years old. When I was I child I had a dream to have mine and today it's real.

I am the owner of a DAIMLER SIX 1997 150kmiles.
I am also in one clb in france since 2008 : AMICAE XJ It's a club reserved for the xj series from serie 1 to the x350.

I hope to have exhanges with some people in this forum and to share with our club

Best regards

PS : I am sorry if my english is not very good but I try....

I can't post attachement due to the administration rules so in few days I will.

Well Hello there. Welcome. Many of us who have English as a first language struggle with it as well.

I'm getting hungry, been 25 years since I was down in Marseille but I still remember stuffing myself with Bouillabaisse. Best I have ever had.

Now twojags is going to be drooling

I too wanted a Jag when I was younger - Then I moved to Alaska and we do not have a dealership in the state, so over the years I gave up. Then one day I found myself in Texas for a school, and found my baby. Now I will never go back to another brand.

I think it is so cool that you too got your Jag. Congrats, I hope you've been enjoying yours as much as I enjoy mine?

Greetings from Quebec.

Aucun problème ici. C'est sur un forum français que j'avais des problèmes. On devait traduire mon français car on ne me comprenait pas, lloll.

LOL, that's funny. I once had an automotive client who wanted some documents translated into French for the Canadian market. Rather than using our in house French translators I had to subcontract to a company over there.

There are differences in France/French and Quebec/French in automotive vocabulary. As per UK English and US English.

We're not stuffy around here, just a whole bunch of folk who want to get the most out of our Jaguar experience.

Someone will always help out. Lots of Francophones on the forum.

Basically:

"I used to belong to a XK8 french group but they had a hard time with canadian french and in many instances asked others to translate..."


Too bad there was a high level knowledge and skill on that blog . So I joined here and it rocks.

Hi everyones,

In fact, all my JAG's document are in english so It can be an issue to discuss with all of you. If I have a problem, I will use canadian English LOL.

Thanks again for your welcome.....

From France, Oliver.
