My son just gave my wife and I an anniversary gift......A 2002 Jaguar XKR convertible! ![Icon Omg](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_omg.gif)
unbelievable!
I have never owned such a sophisticated automobile and will be awhile understanding all the bells and whistles.
This is the second day of ownership and I am having problems with the convertible top and will search the forum and if need be post my problem in the proper section later. Right now it is up and I can live with that for awhile but this IS top down weather.
I expect to be a lurker and gleaning all the information I can about my new love.
My thanks to those of you that make this forum possible!

Welcome to the forum Gary,
Good to have you with us.
You obviously brought him up well!
Lot's to read in the XK8/R section XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
ther's quite a bit to read up on some important, some not so much.
Enjoy!
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

How to: Post pictures
How To Add Pictures In Your Messages
Do yourself a favour and get involved if you can, even with a post here n there, maybe some pics of your ride to show her off, maybe one of you in the Mug shot thread ( we're all mostly in there....lol )
There's the regional section for you too as well as the off topic area.............generally those who get a litle more involved get a lot more out of the experience.
There's a really great mix of information, camraderrie and fun

Welcome to the forum Gary,
Are you thinking of putting him up for adoption......?![Icon Lol](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Wonderful anniversary gift. Hope you both get a great deal of pleasure from owning and driving it.

Thanks for the nice welcome guys, I think I’m going to like it here.
No GGG, maybe he could have been adopted several years back when I was paying college tuition for him and his two brothers at the same time but they are keepers now.
Jayt2, I have cloned him, his two brothers are very much like him. They all take pretty good care of the old man and their mom.
Sad to say I still don’t have the top working and search as I might, I haven’t found the answer so I guess it’s time to make that post. Wish me luck!
