Default First Jaguar

I didn't think I could pull it off but after the test drive in F Type R, I threw all caution to the wind and said screw it I want it. For months I have been debating the M4, C7 vette, 991s and F Type. I'm coming from a 2008 M3 that I put almost 140,000 miles in a little over 4 years. I hope I made the right choice and I'll try to be a productive contributor to this forum. As for me, I'm ex-military, been almost around the world (including England) and I currently work in the nuclear industry. My background is Nondestructive testing and welding.

Welcome.

Good choice there.

My first car was a Jaguar MK7, but that was a loooooong time ago. King of the road was I at 18.

Welcome to the forum Jag F Type R,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. The F-Type R sounds the perfect choice to me too.

I can see you've already found your way to the F-Type tech 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 info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

F Type R?

Wow, just wow.

Would you mind just dropping it over to my place?

Leave the keys.

Very unusual for Jim not to respond to a PM. A follow up reminder to him may have been a good idea.

I can see your new forum user name in our Moderator Control Panel but with zero posts so far.

It ok, I know the moderators are busy. I didn't want anyone to go out of their way.
