New Member XKR
Greetings from sunny (but cold) Saskatchewan. I've had my XKR for a year and a half and have gained a lot of knowledge from lurking on the X150 forum. I thought it was time to register and start contributing.
I'm not entirely new to Jaguars. I have a 1990 V12 VDP and a 1964 E-Type, and drove an X-Type wagon until just last year. The XK was a dream car of mine and I looked for over two years before I found just the right one. Although the car spent most of its life in Vancouver, I bought it in Montreal and flew there to pick it up and drive halfway across Canada to bring it home. It was a marvelous way to get acquainted with it, and by the time I got home we were friends for life. I am eagerly awaiting spring so that I can get back on the road with it. After I replace the leaky oil pan on the transmission, that is.

Thanks, Graham. This being a Jag site, I did crop out the 1969 TR6 that started my journey with British cars back in 1977 when I bought it as a parts car for $200. Several restorations later it is still one of my favourites. If you look closely at the pic you will notice my actual favourite, that being a 2013 Grandchild Type F.
