Default Cruising Jag style in Florida

Hello all!

New XJ owner. First time owning a Jag, already enjoying the thrill (not quite) of throwing money at the car! Oh well, hopefully will get it sorted out and can have some trouble-free fun 😀

Would love to hear from other Florida drivers, particularly about if there are any "Jag breakers" in Central Florida that might be used to source parts.

"Mendacity." What an appropriate name for a recalcitrant Jaguar!

We have a number of members in Florida, check out the Regional section, find Florida, stop in and say Hello:

Wow! You noticed the Mendacity name within 20 minutes of me adding it to the signature. It's kind of a play on the definition of the word. In one sense, it is in that when all the blinking lights come up on the panel, it seems sometimes all is not lost, as the car may want us to believe. Another would be that when someone pulls up beside this four-door sedan, they expect it to be slow and doddering, and this car definitely doesn't tolerate such condescension!

Hello! Thanks for the message. Miami is a bit south - we live in Central Florida (the Land of Mickey Mouse). Haven't been to Barbados, but most of the Caribbean islands are fun!

Welcome to the forum Florida_Pilot,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the X350 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

You can also visit the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link US Lower Atlantic - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
