Greetings
I just turned 60 and told my wife that I was tired of driving SUVs. I have had performance cars most of my life but our business required us to haul equipment around and it looked kinda tacky going down the highway in a beautiful Eldorado with stuff sticking out of the trunk and windows (Beverly Hillbillys comes to mind). So we sold the Caddy and bought an SUV. We have since sold the business and I just bought a 2004 XJR. It is a wonderful machine, but has its little quirks.
Each time I Google an issue, I end up here. This seems to be by far the most extensive and active Jaguar forum on the planet.
Back in the day I have had 4 E-Types and 1 Mk9. I lost the last one in a divorce 20 years ago, so it feels good to be back in the fold. There is a comraderie with Jag owners that is not common with most other badges.
I believe in giving back, so there will be posts from me on any little things I discover, hopefully some will be helpful. I look forward to digitally interacting with you!
