Hey Jaguarnaut and Ken,
You guys are in my neck of the woods (San Antonio area). I bought my car outside of Houston and it had been serviced at momentum. We got Barrett Jag in SA. Lots of XJ's around here. SA also likes Mercedes and lexus....lots of them.

Hello, from Tucson!
My wife and I have a 1998 XJ8. Its our first Jag and other than outrageous maintenance costs (over $6,000 in the past year), we love it - well, at least I love it. My wife wants me to get rid of the Big Cat, and my reply..."yeah, when you pry the steering wheel from my cold dead fingers." She's the one who wanted it in the first place, and I tried to warn her about maintenence costs - that went in one ear and out the other! So now she went out and bought a new Acura, and I have the Jag. Gotta admit, her Acura has a few more bells & whistles then my Jag (Nav. system, XM radio, DVD player, etc.) but hey, its still not a Jag! What my wife doesn't understand is that a Jaguar isn't "just transportation"...its an investment! So far I have to say that we've invested a lot, but damn its been worth it! Nothing drives like, feels like, handles like, smells like, sounds like or brings a smile to the drivers face like a Jaguar!
My Big Cat and I get up to the Phoenix area every once in awhile, and she can still turn heads even in that opressively traffic congested metropolis. We were at Sugar Daddy's in Scottsdale not too long ago, and of course had to valet park. Because the valet spoke up and said, "sweet ride, man", he got a $20 tip in stead of four bucks! People just instinctively know quality and elegance. My wife though a $20 tip was little over the top, but I was smilin' all the back to the Old Pueblo.
Remember, if you can't play with the Big Cats - better stay in the litter box. "Jaguar. There are no substitutes." Hey, my friend...happy motoring in the valley of the sun - Jag style of course!
Ron

Ft Worth, TX for this owner.
Strangely Jaguarnaut, I traveled to Momentum to buy my XK. Around these parts, I know of TEX who has another quartz XK8, but haven't seen him around here yet...and I've been looking. I see other jags all over the place, mainly older crowd (no offense guys/gals) in the big XJs and S-types. Not alot of XK's been seen though.
Would love to join a club or something similar for some jag comaraderie, but don't know if I would have time.
What I really love - little kids giving me the thumbs up when I pass them or get passed (which surely isn't becuase I am driving too slow). I get drunk girls hanging out the window waving at me from time to time, but that hasn't happened in awhile. I suppose they want a ride in the vert? Ah, the joys of ownership.
JMan, I hope to get a 'horn blow' if you ever run across me. Get some pics up of your x-type, and I'll look for ya around town.
anyone ever want to arrange a "lunch" or get together, I highly recommend a hooters for the location. Girls love to oogle the rides and it is a great atmosphere to talk car.
I think this is a great opportunity, and appropriate regional section to either recommend, or warn of dealerships/shops that either excel at jag service and repair, or tend to fall short of the anticipated goal. I may start a thread specifically discussing this soon. dealerships/shops.
