I sold the XJS last month and just picked up a 1967 420 saloon. It's a great running car!

Hello Chicagoland!! Glad to join the crew. Does this group ever do any get togethers? I know we cover a lot of geography, but wanted to know. Just brought the car home Saturday, so still feelin' the "new" sensation.

Congratulations on the new ride Carlucci! We haven't had a get together since I've been on-line here; last summer Chicago Auto Pros had a cancer fundraiser at there Lombard location that was alot of fun, would be great to get several Jags lined up near each other if they do it again this year.

Does anyone have a referral to an Indy in/around Barrington/Tower Lakes/Wauconda area? My former Porsche guys won't do Jags... :-(
