Hello everyone! Well, I finally got all my personal info entered, photos loaded and even one question answered.

What a great site! As I mentioned, I even have one of several questions already answered.....I'll post the others in the proper sections later.

Two Jags and one Austin-Healy in my stable. I've had the '64 Series I E-type for 7 years and the '08 XK convertible for a little over a week. Both are great but of course, quite different. The E-type is a nice "driver", the Healey is a Concours "trailer queen", I'm not quite sure what the XK will be.

See you later,

Jeff

Hi jeff welcome to the forum, nice little stable you have there, 3 cars that I would like to own.

As you have found, lots of good info and some great members in the XK sections.

welcome from TX Jeff! You sound like you'll be a good fit for the forum, the 07+ xk section is growing more and more every month. Jump in and share in the camaraderie.

Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum!....this is one of the best car forums around.

Were you at the the Shenandoah British Car Club Show about a month ago?

Default SVBCC show in Waynesboro

Yes I was! I guess that was were I completely "caught the bug". Thanks for allowing me to sit in your car.

I started looking everywhere for a XK8 and realized I liked the later XK better. We spent 3 days in the D.C. area looking at XK's and decided on a 2008 XK Conv. in Indigo metallic with 14,000 miles. We love it!

Only one problem....a noisy in-dash aspirator motor. Hope to get it replaced this week.

Thanks for the info. about Jags at the show.

By the way, our '64 Series I E-type won first in class, what a surprise!

This is only my 3rd. day on the forum so I'm still learning the ropes.

Have a great day,

Jeff

Hi Jeff and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started but we have a 10 post minimum. Once that is satisfied you will be given an opportunity to post photos and see other links. Please be patient and enjoy the site. I am not sure I like you! I always wanted an Austin Healy, came close in getting one about 15 – 20 years ago. I was concerned because most of it was in boxes and I kept looking back as I was walking away. I think I hate you!!
PS Please enjoy the forum!

Hi Gus:

Thanks for the welcome. You ought to look for an Austin-Healey. They are great cars and I enjoy both Jags and Healey's equally.

Hey Jeff-
I thought it might have been you! Congrats on the well desreved E-type win, and also on your new cat ! I was pretty convinced that you were smitten by the XK's that day .

FYI, its a bit of a drive for you, but if you can make it, there is a mid-Atlantic get together being planned (but not finalized yet) for mid-December in Fredericksburg. Follow this thread for updates....
