Located just outside Boston, MA
Back into the "pride" after being away for a number of years. Just turned in my BMW 750iL (E38) for a 2003 XJ8. While the BMW is an incredible car, the Jaguar has a real soul that connects with me. Praying that it doesn't bankrupt me like the repairs on the BMW did, I've done some scary reading on the X308 forums and am planning a pretty extensive PM routine before the winter comes. Will do as much as my budget and wife allow. (I do most of my own work, so that saves a few $$$'s and helps connect me with the car).
Looking forward to connecting with other NE members.

Another Bergen County, NJ resident. Just picked up a 2008 XJ with 60k with all the options I wanted. Right color (black), right interior (biscuit), right wheels (Polaris). Cooled seats were a plus. Drove it to Point Pleasant last weekend and then to Cape May this weekend. Put on about 500 highway miles and have to say, this car reminds me of a 1991 BMW 750 I had many years ago. Almost as smooth as a V12 and the long wheelbase makes highway cruising a breeze. My kids remember growing up in the back seat of the 750 and not being able to kick the back of the front seats. Now they are in their 20's but thoroughly enjoy the back seat room (the older one still turns on his brother's seat heater to annoy him).

You only did two laps? The guy I got paired with let me go for three The 35t R-Sport was awesome, but I would've liked to try the RWD instead of AWD.

Jaguar Owner in the Syracuse NY area. Had a 1988 XJ40 and a 1996 Vanden Plas. Both in British Racing Green (XJ40 went to the graveyard sadly). Now I own the 96 Vanden Plas and a 2001 XK8 in Roman Bronze I just picked up last Summer. Great cars. I'll never own anything else. Are there ever any Jaguar get-togthers near me? If so where do I get a schedule of events?
