Welcome to the forum. You will find the forum and the people most helpful with your debugging. I have saved many hours just by doing some searches here before starting.
Once you get things sorted out I hope you can join us on one (or more) of the runs this year. I am just over the hill from you near Alexandra. We seem to be getting a few members from the eastern burbs and environs lately.
Cheers

Hi Geoff, and welcome to the forum. I'm a gnats whisker from the Valley on the edge of Wonga Park. The days out we've started are good fun, with nice people and a variety of cars. Hope you can bring your XJR out for airing on a future event, the next one is currently in the melting pot. Look out for a posting about it.
Cheers,

Hi All,
Dene from Geelong (Victoria) just saying hello.
Have just discovered this subgroup after being absent for some time due to distraction's from other car projects !!
I'm lucky to have a 2009 XKR Portfolio purchased 3.5 years ago(weekend car)
and previously owned a S3 Sovereign V12 for 10 years.
Also into Lotus and MG V8's.
Essentially I'm obsessed about cars...and spending money on them.
Cheers

Someone from my home town! Go Cats!
Did you get down to the Geelong Revival speed trials at Eastern Beach late last year? I was down there in the pits with a friend of mine who was running an MG he's restored, but I had plenty of time to walk around and drool over some absolutely beautiful E-Types (as well as countless other marques). A great day.
Nice XKR by the way!
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Yes I did get to the Geelong Revival, I do most years.
Was there Saturday for 2hrs and all day Sunday as the car was on display with Jag Club of Vic. An E-Type would be my 2nd Jag if I had the room and $$.
A number of members from the Geelong MG Club were also running.
I'll keep an eye out for you and your fast coupe.
Dene

Can't say Ritche rings a bell, may recognise his face. I'm normally hooked up with some of the V8 guys.
I looked at some of the other pics of your "R", very tasty, with ceramic brakes ?, I'd like to see it in the flesh one day.
The new 2015 F-type R all wheel drive and manual gerabox is also tempting for me.

The manual gearbox is not available in the R, by the way. Only in the V6.

Another Victorian - (Redgear) - Introduction in the regional forum
Greetings and best wishes to all Victorian and Tasmanian forum members - here is my regional intro. I am really looking forward to having conversations with our geographically proximate forum members - think it is a great idea - and get togethers would be great as well.
Had a 71 XJ6 in the 70s and it left its mark on me and I have joined the ranks of Jag lovers again, late in 2014, with the purchase of an XJS V12 6 litre
Right now, I am looking for a 1989 or similar age XJS - Convertible - preferably in red...but any colour will be considered if it is a good example (I am looking for a good example and a bit open on price)
I have looked at many of the cars that are currently on car sales but there has not been much new stock coming up in recent times.
If anyone knows of one, please let me know as I am ready to buy and want to find something in the very near future.
All the best to all in Vic and TAs

If you are interested in meeting up with some of the locals there is a run coming up. Have a look at the thread if you need details. Hopefully we can use this meet to work out what people are interested in doing this year.
Cheers
