Hello Warren and wife(?). Glad to have you! Be sure and head over to the S Section and check out the FAQ area, lots of reading to be done.

BTW what motors do they have?

Be sure to post up some pics of them together, maybe even add the wifey and hers in the "Girls on Jaguars" thread.

Matching black S-Types! That's cool! But you guys should diversify a little. One of you needs an XK.

Welcome to the forum!

Is it the case of the "talking" gas gauge? If so I know the feeling !

Yep. Why when I get to drive her Jaguar it is always empty?? I always leave her a full tank. Must be a plan in there somewhere I am just a slow learner I guess.

you did it right, congrats warren! Now, I did 'supersize' your image, let me tell you how to do it if you use the 'attach' option for your pics.

When you've uploaded the pic, you can right click on it to 'copy the link location', then in your text box, use the 'insert image' by clicking on the above. That will add the larger image from your thumbnail at the same time. Give it a shot.

Great pics! A very nice stable for sure. Although the 2002 being an "R" model is a little mysterious, as they came to the US market technically as 2003's and packed a 4.2 V-8 with a blower. Front end would have a wire mesh grille and the front clip is different. There were concept "R" models floating around in 2002 - is this one of them??

Regardless - it's a sweet ride dude!!

Well Slap Me and wake me up! I was told when I bought the 2002 that it was a "Sport" and I thought that ment it was an "R" but come to think about it there are no markings anywhere or mention of "R" in the book or car. It is definiately faster and more of a sport ride than my other Jaguars so I just went with it. Now I really feel stupid. Well see what I am learning in just a few weeks. Thx Guys!
