My name is Mike. I live in Kentucky and bought my first Jag, an almost pristine 87 XJ6. All I can say is there is just something magical about these cars. There's no words to describe it. Here's few of my You might be a Jag owner if...... statements....this says it all


You may be a Jag owner if....


1. You get up at 5am on a Saturday morning to just drive your Jag, no reason needed.


2. You got up late the night the night before and went to your garage just to polish the wood and chrome on your Jag. And your wife has no idea why you would do such a thing in the late hours...in fact, she swears you are a 40 year old with alzheimer's


3. When you go to the store, you take the longest route possible because you want to spend Quality time with your car


4. Looking at your car can cheer you up, no matter how bad your day is


5. You actually felt is was appropriate to make the "perfect mix" of music for your Jag, because not just any old music will do...

In all seriousness, these cars are just amazing. We have 2 other cars that I wont even drive anymore. My next purchase will be a low mileage 95-97 XJ6, to replace my 2007 Toyota Camry


Look forward to speaking with all of you. I never understood why Jaguar owners took so much pride in their cars until I bought one....now I fully understand. When you own a Jaguar, you own something special. Its more than a car

 

Hey Mike! Quite a Intro! Loved the "Jag owner" checklist and I can relate to all of them! Congrats on your Jag too! Too bad the soundcloud link won't work though! Have a good day

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I've owned and driven Jaguars for over forty five years but can still relate to those sentiments!

The music mix link won't open - you must have it set as 'personal' .....

Welcome Mike! It sounds like you'll fit right in here. Be careful About Planning to buy more. I only ever wanted the one.

 

I will redo the mix. It wouldn't let me post because of some copyright things.


I have a question. My front tires are wearing inside. Do you think this would be due to the bushings, or ball joints? Maybe Both? It does have a bit shimmy when you get up around 80

 

I think my Jag has made me OCD....for real

 

Same here, as of now I'm worrying about my seat position in the Jag; wether I moved the seat too much or it's perfect. Oh well...

Tried to upload the 87 Jag Mix again. I used Enya to bridge some of these, and it works about pretty good. Since its an 87 Jag, I have some 80s style stuff on here. The music is all over the board, because I pretty much like everything except Country music


Artist ( in order )


Ambient Piano
Enya
Enya / Depeche Mode
Radiohead
Enya
Miles Davis
Coldplay
Pendulum
Depeche Mode
Friendly Fires
Tesla Boy
St Lucia

 

The link works now.
Tyre wear on the inside can be caused simply by excessive toe in but is more often due to wear in suspension bushes and/or ball joints.

The shimmy could be a direct result but these cars are also very sensitive to wheel balancing.
