Default G'day from Australia

G'day All
My name is Peter and I am from Brisbane in Queensland Australia.

HUGE Jaguar fanatic whom has been lucky enough over the years to have owned, and in some cases rebuilt a number of these amazing cars.

I got married at the end of April this year and as a wedding present I bought a new classic an '85 XJS Cabriolet red(they go faster...everyone knows that).

She is in pretty good nic, paint needs redoing and as she has been locked away in a garage for nearly 3yrs there are some little bits to do. Also as this little lady is for regular driving will also change out a few bits and pieces to get better performance.

Looking forward to chatting with all the good folk here.

Pete

Welcome to the forum Pete,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XJS 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.

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.

You can also visit the Australia - Queensland Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/a...queensland-92/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

G'day Pete,

Welcome aboard it is great to have another Queenslander!!

Nice choice in kitty mate. You have some pics?

I will add you to our QLD role over in our regional section soon.

My apologies my regional coordinator duties are a bit limited at the moment as I am in the USA using internet on my phone...

Welcome again

Thanks for the welcome Grant. In answer to your question V12HE

@Paulying Glad to meet another Queenslander. No pics at the moment as I am on my Honeymoon but I shall rectify that as soon as I get back.

Thanks to everyone for the very warm welcome.

Oh I thought I had sorted the signature out...obviously I was wrong. Hopefully it is now working.

Pete

Pete,

All good now.

Signature amendments appear with the NEXT post, not immediately. This catches out a lot of members.
