Hello All, my name is Dan.

My wife has loved Jaguar cars all her life and my dad owned them in the fifties. The first we bought in 2001, was a used 1999 Van Den Plas. We had the car for 9 years and loved it, what a smooth ride. The second Jaguar is a 1997 XK8 convertible which we purchased last year. My wife really wanted an XKR convertible, but we could not find one in our price range. Last month I got on Ebay and bid on a 2002 XKR, 31K miles, and surprise, won it. I flew out to Chicago and drove it back to California for a road trip, now it has 33K miles on it. I found out about this forum doing research on XKR's.

Thanks Dan

Welcome, Dan. I, too, blame my wife for my Jag in a round about way. She was gently pressuring me to buy another car. I bought a Jaguar. Not quite what she had in mind, but I love being able to say - You told me to buy it! Have fun and be safe!
Cheers,
Scott

Welcome to the forum Dan,

That sounds like a nice little stable of Jags.

Hello Dan and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
