Newbie!!
Hello everyone!
My name is Jamie and I'm located in Texas Hill Country, USA. This is my first time being a member of a forum, so I'm kind of just spectating at this point. I'm mostly looking for useful, real world experience and suggestions to make being a Jag owner more practical. I'm a total car girl, gal, chick, lady, hag, hen, or whatever one may call a grown woman whose like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to combustion engines, beefy sounding exhaust, and adrenaline dumping horsepower. Four years ago I was in search of a new-to-me sedan that offered luxury, space enough for family or clients, (I was in real estate), and would haul a$$. I happened to test drive a Cadillac CTS-V which blew my mind, but it was going to give me problems. After a couple of months of research on the CTS-V I resigned to making due with our Duramax (diesel pickup). Then one day, on my way to resolve a speeding ticket, a car just off the freeway in front of a dealership caught my eye. I had to know what it was, so I stopped by on my way home and that day marked the day I fell in love with a Jag. It was a 2016 XJR LWB, Supercharged 5.0L V8, black on white; the ultimate sleeper as it turned out. I owned it for a year, but it spent a lot of time going in for repairs so I had to let it go. I set my sights on the Project 8 next, patiently waiting for a sweet deal on a pre-owned. Amidst my searches I found my new baby. Currently a very proud owner of a
2013 XKR-S, 5.0L V8, Supercharged. I've had it for about 16 months now and she brings me joy every single day.
No filters. She just sparkles naturally.
Cheers!

Hello, Jamie,
If you want to make a Statement, just pull up to anywhere and get out of a polished up Jaaag!
Especially as a Woman in Business.
Not Duramax nor BMW nor Porsche, nor any other ride will have the same impact, visually, mentally or emotionally.
I can tell you how I learned that.

Welcome. If you are up for a road trip and want to hang out with like-minded gearheads this weekend:
https://allbritishcarday.com/
This is one of my favorite events of the season because I see domestic muscle cars and hot rods at local shows every weekend, but I only get to see rare European classics two or three shows a year. I hope it holds out but this weekend's weather forecast looks to be turning soggy on us. It may turn out to be an "authentic" British car show. Last year I took my Lotus, but I think I'll just be spectating this year.
