Hello everybody!

My name is Ingo, I'm 29 years old and I live in Las Vegas.

I'm originally from Germany - I moved to the United states 5 years ago.

And this was also the time when I got my first Jaguar: XJ6 X300 from 1997.

I had to look around for quite a while, but the patient search was all worth it, when I finally found this family-owned and dealership-maintained beauty.


Unfortunately, not paying attention for a second resulted in my first car-accident - but luckily, nobody was hurt...

Since I was still on a tourist-visa at this time, my financial possibilities were rather slim - but even with very limited tool-access, I was able to get her back on her feet:

The years have passed, and I fell in love with my Jag more and more - so i decided to keep this car for good - we have been through a lot of experiences together, and I never want to forget these times.

I have been getting some valuable information here in the past, and now it's time to become a real member!

So I hope that you can help me keep my baby in great shape for the years to come - and I hope that I can eventually help some of you do the same with your Jags!

Thank you in advance!

Ingo

Welcome to the forum Ingo,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Great Intro.

That accident damage could easily have been a write off. Lucky on two counts - no one injured and you could rebuild it.

It sounds like you probably already know your way to the model tech section but if not, follow this link XJ X300 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X300 forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the USA Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Greetings Ingo! Congrats for joining and welcome. So glad you and your car came through that ok! I agree it would have been a write-off if you didn't save her yourself. Good job!

It is fun to be a part of the forums, its a really nice community. See you around!
