Hello all,

My name's Dan and I recently picked up an 2005 Jaguar S-Type R. She's Jaguar Racing Green with the two-tone Black/Tan Interior and Aluminum accents. This is my second STR, selling the previous 2004 about 6 years ago. The 2005 model was always my favorite with the face lift and retained painted scheme on the Brembos. This one was about 1/3 the cost and I'm handier with a wrench this time around so I expect low(er) running costs (besides gas). Still a blast to drive though. Its stall mates are a 1995 Porsche 968 Cabriolet w/ Design 1 Racing Supercharger and 2006 Cayenne Turbo S so it fits right in with the forced induction theme.

 

Sounds awesome. We need the following pics

A) The TypeR
B) The garage.

 

Welcome aboard......nice stable!

Thanks for all the welcome comments! I'm looking forward to learning more about these great cars (I didn't Realize Ian Callum had a hand in the face lifted S-Type until just last night while doing some reading on here). Also eyeing some upgrades (looks like Mina Gallery just added a "Performance Air Intake Tube Package" to their site)!
