Hello all,

As long as I can recall I've always wanted a Jag, and yesterday afternoon in the suburbs of Chicago that dream came true. Spent the rest of the day driving her back to Missouri, and although I'm not usually a fan of road trips which last over say four hours, it was the best driving experience of my life. I am entirely in love...

 

Congrats Rdmii and welcome to the forum! Looking forward to some pics!

 

Congrats on your car! I myself wanted a Jag for as long as I can remember, and in May this year, my hubby gave me one for our 30th anniversary. I was stunned speechless and in disbelief that I actually owned one! Welcome, and I hope you love yours as much as I do mine!

 

I've got a few of the dealer pics in my garage, and I think there should be one in my signature now.

That is a great anniversary gift bd, and congrats on the 30yr mark. Hope you have many more.

 

okay, i guess the one in my sig isn't working for some reason

 

got it

thanks everyone for the warm welcome to the site, and thanks jim for the upgrade. i'll have to go peruse the photos now.

 

Welcome to the forum, if you get bored spending 4 hours driving your XKR, just give me a shout.

 

If your drive lasts more than four hours, do you have to seek medical help immediately?

 

Is it true that there is no Jaguar's sportwagon in USA ?

 

i'm not sure if there's a sport wagon in the us or not, if they're around you don't really see them...ever. i'd guess the market here is full up of that sort of thing and there's really no reason for it.

i wouldn't say i ever get bored on road trips, i'm just very prone to highway hypnosis which makes long distance solo trips a little rough at times.

i have found it almost impossible to stay out of the car since i've gotten it home. i find myself sitting around, wondering what it is i want to do which always eventually ends with me deciding that i want to go driving; because that's what people who own cars like this do. they go driving with nowhere to go. and my word is it fun.

 

Congrats and welcome!
