Default New member greetings from Vancouver

Greetings from up north!

I'm happy to say I just became a proud new owner of an 02 xkr silver coupe. I always loved the classic e-type styling of these cars and finally bit the bullet and got myself one!

Little about me, my name is Luke and I'm in my mid twenties working in the very exciting field of public accounting. I consider myself a bit of a gear head; I did a few seasons of auto-cross with my previous car, 98 SS camaro, and when weather permits I take out my 999 duke for a spin!

The xkr coupe is stock for now with its 18 double-fives, immidiate plans include 1'' spacers, leather redying the interior and clear signals up front. Future plans include seeing what I can do with the exhaust, a smaller charger pulley, and intake.

I usually use forums to see what others did, hear good ideas and learn from other owners. Given this forum's minimum count policy, and that I really want to browse the gallery, I might as well interact a little!

I know, I know, I'll post up pictures of the ride soon

Welcome to the forum. Being a gearhead and a public accountant will destroy some time honored sterotypes. Glad your willing to take that on.

Thanks Fraser, love that clip!

Humorous, yet not that far from reality, really

No, luckily I wasn't downtown that day, although I heard some accounts of the night. It was totally a crowd mentality at its finest, only a few idiots that actually wreaked havoc, while other losers looking for a sense of belonging just tagged along or took pictures.

It was disappointing to see that on the news, and worse yet that our city will stick in everyone's mind with those images. It's also unfortunate that the media won't talk about the 15 thousand volunteers that showed up the next morning by 7am to clean everything up.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

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.
