If you come to the states I can help you with the sights and must see places in and near Washington, DC, including Williamsburg, VA and other historical locations. Between Philly, DC and the outlying areas (battlefields) you'd have a great trip !

...Lindenhurst, NY (Suffolk County) to be precise. Originally from Brooklyn (go back far enough and most people are), proud owner of a '98 VDP with 124K miles on it as of 3/08. My first, but not likely to be my last Jag.

I can highly recommend Heritage Jaguar of Freeport (Nassau County). When I first got my car (Nov '07) they worked with me prioritize the work needed, pointed out what things I could get done more reasonably elsewhere, got my car in great shape, threw in some freebies, and generally treated me with courtesy and professionalism.

Also can recommend Mavis Discount Tires for tires, brakes and front end/alignment work, they are reasonably priced with fast turnaround.

Online I've had excellent dealings with "britishpartsplace".

Hi all,

I''m new to the forum.

I live in upstate New York but work in New york City.

I picked up my car about 4 months ago at a steal (less than $1,500). The car is in fairly good shape with minimal rust. I have resolved the majority of electrical issues on the VCM. I am preseently having my mechanic install two new (reconditioned) stub axle assemblies. Once that is done, no more leaks (which is rare for british cars).

I am familiar with British cars and their quirks, having owned many years earlier a 1973 Triumph TR-6. I have always wanted to own a Jaguar. Although this is not the model I''ve had my heart set on, it is intereisting that I presently own one at this time. First, the price as I indicated was good. Secondly, back in 1988, I used to frequent the high end sport car dealerships with my brother in Greenwich, Connecticut. It just so happens, that I still have the dealership brochure for the model I have (1988 XJ6 VDP, 3.6 Liter). I also have the brochure for the 1988 XJS. Anyway, I was facinated by the unusual lines of the XJ6 back then due to the change from the Series 3 cars. I can''t believe that the VDP model in the brochure is exactly what I have.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello to everyone here. If I know how to post a pic of my car on this forum, I''d do so.

I look forward to reading the threads in the coming days. Hopefully, some good contacts can come from our similar interests.

Enjoy...
