Now a 2 Jag family XJL / VDP - New Member
Hi all,
I am a new member. We live in Cumming, GA and I recently traded into two different Jags.
I first got my wife a 2007 XJL, and thought I would be 'allowed' to drive it... I bought it because I fell in love with the car. great deal. 32K mi, $32K purchase. Ok. Like someone parked it in a garage for 3 yrs. Black w/tan and piping. As you might guess, I am not 'allowed' to drive it.
Since I needed to trade out of my other car, I looked around and purchased a 2006 VDP Black on Black. Also a good deal. 58K mi. $29K. Very nice ride.
Obviously, I fell in love with Jags. I have always loved them since childhood. I could have traded for almost any NEW car and worked a good deal, but I chose to go with pre-owned Jags that were as clean as a whistle for the same or less money than a new US or Japanese, or used German.
I love the 'pull' and handling of these aluminum bodies with a regular Jag engine. Elegance with power, and beautiful styling. I will likely trade for the 2011 models in about 3 or 4 years. But for now I most satisfied.
I am also a jazz guitarist (50 yrs of playing - mostly professional level), and I am a Sr. Manager with Capgemini, a Global IT Consulting firm. I am married with one child. I travel a good bit, mostly internationally or work from home.
I hope to learn a lot here and make some new friends!

DaveNC,
I am working up in Toronto now, and won't be in ATL much except for weekends. I will only be able to see and drive my car on the weekends for a couple of days.
I would love to bring it up here, but parking is outrageous in downtown Toronto.
I will be home this weekend and will take some pictures for posting.
I also started a group on here for North Georgia / ATL Jag owners.
