Aaron from Christchurch, New Zealand. 2001 XKR. Looking for a few parts... 😃

 

G'day, I'm Kaine, I live in/near the Darling Downs in Queensland, I have a Silver 1977 XJS and that is all really.

 

Hi Hamish from Pukekohe Auckland
Just bought my first Jaguar... 94 Daimler XJ40.
Classy

 

Hi Hamish!

I am just down the road from you in Hamiltron.... I have an XJ6

Would be cool to catch up some time if you are keen for a beer or something :0)

Cheers

Chris

 

Hi Chris, Do you farmers in the Wiakato still drink your beer warm and flat(lol).
That's how I remember it from the early 80's visiting friends at the Wiakato University.
Mind you,they were too poor to have a beer fridge.

You are not wrong,Pukekohe to Hamilton is 1 hour, I've got to drive 1.5- 2 hours to see a decent beach.(grew up at Mt Maunganui so I miss the beach)

 

Well I can't speak for the farmers but some of us have slightly more sophisticated taste !!! I do live on the same road as the old Waikato Brewery tho...

Cheers

Chris

 

I am familiar with area because my Dad drove the truck that delivered the beer from the brewery to Rotorua and Tauranga, I had daily trips over the Kaimai ranges in the school holidays.

 

Patetonga from the Hauraki Plains NZ. I'm driving a '95 Daimler Sovereign with a '94 merc s500 in park up

 

Sounds like a plan Chris. If you're coming up this way drop me a line. Would love to see your car and chat over a beer.

Hi guys, I posted in the newbie section a few weeks back. Royce in Auckland with a freshly imported 2006 xj8. Loving the drive at present, popped a few cds in the boot thingy, and ignore the japanese talk and radio settings. The numbers come up okay but japanese script is illegible. Ive looked thru the posts on navigation, and how to convert the language, but am happy to wait awhile. Not too bad on the gas either, 24 to 28 mpg so far!! Cheers and hope to meet a few enthusiasts in the Auckland area. Cheers.

 

Hello Jaguar lovers.
Just saw this thread. I am bitten by the jaguar fever. Have an xjr2000 model and an xjc v12 im restoring. Live in sydneys outskirts. Nice to see a bunch of locals with taste...

 

By the way whats the story in nz of importing a car from the uk. I think your rules are different from oz...

 

Hi. Have already done an intro in the main area. Just letting you locals know that I'm finding my way around
Cheers Simon
