hi twoell,
nice to meet you!
it would be great to meet up -- im finalising the deal on the X Type in a few days!
As to mechanics, I hear of a guy named Dr. Jaguar, semi-retired, but dont know much about him. I get the impression that he does more customization and restoration than regular maintenance.
I had a nice chat with the current service manager at Melloy, he was helpful and seems to know his stuff, so i feel fairly comfortable taking the car into him when its time.

hi, JAGerbomb,
it will be 2005, bottle green, 45K miles on it. I have to sell my 1996 Rav 4 to make it happen, so if you know of anyone looking for a good car for their kid, let me know
I have a deposit on the jag, and hes giving me a few weeks to put it together. Here's from his ad:
an alternative plan is looking at a much older, but much cheaper '96 XJ6 supercharged... Im worried about the maintenance and skill set required on that piece although i wouldnt have to cough up the Rav to get it.
Something will shake out soon!
I know there is another new member on these broads from NM , Gray XK... we should definitely have a meetup!

Norumba, Congrats on your new Jag. I checked out your web site, Pray4brain.com, and I like your music. Not a musician myself, I am somewhat involved in the ABQ Blues music scene. I'm a member of the Blues Foundation (blues.com) and the NM Blues Society (nmbluessociety.com) and am starting to get involved with setting up some Blues events. Since I am now retired from the work-a-day world, I now have to time to devote to this stuff. I hope we can all get together for lunch? drinks? whatever...I'm game.

Just had some work done on my XK8 @ Malloy Jaguar. Both Joe (service mgr.) and Cory (parts mgr) are very knowledgeable, courteous, and trustworthy. The best part was, surprise, the bill came in way under the estimate.
I will check out Dr. Jag though and see what he has to offer. Look forward to meeting you guys.

Okay so I visited Dr jag.... He works on your car by appointment only FYI. So anyways I went and well let's just say I found out why he's called Dr jag! He is VERY knowledgable, I popped my hood and he could already tell that so many thing were wrong with my car.... Which is bad, so he plugs in his code reader and A LOT of codes popped up, my car hasn't been running well for a while and well it needs quite a bit of work... About 3kto 5k worth ! So I'm not sure what I'm going to do. He said that with that if I do the 5k of work it would last me another 140k miles. But I don't know , we will see.... But I do recommend him! He is a really cool guy and boy does he know about these cars!

Whatever happened to our ABQ Jag meet?
Norumba, funny you should mention your Jag being in a music video...mine will be in one also. We are hoping to shoot it this coming week...I will also be in it, doing some silent acting - cool! My 1st acting role. The video will be to promote a Spanish, machata beat, version of Jefferson Starship's "Runaway." In the video my Jag will be being washed by another actor, so if you see a "filthy" red XK8 Convertible around town, it's mine...filthy until after the video shoot.
