As my forum name implies, I love hiking and otherwise being outdoors in our wonderful desert here in Arizona. My other fun pursuits include backpacking, mountain biking, pistol shooting and travel. I had the good fortune to be able to retire quite early, so life is great all around.

I joined the forum to learn more about my new F-Type S Coupe. This is my second Jag - the first being an S-Type, V6, 2002. We've also owned BMW, Mercedes and a variety of more common vehicles. This is the first 2 seater performance sports car in the family, and we're looking forward to enjoying it. The wife and I will likely take the 2 day Stingray () High Performance Driving School. Our other current vehicle is a loaded Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk - it gets me to destinations where the Jag F-Type S can't go.

I belong to a few other forums relating to Breitling watches, Beretta pistols and Jeep vehicles. I look forward to learning from and participating in the jaguarforums, and hope to contribute when topics are in my comfort zone.

DH - To lose the "junior" just simply keep on enjoying the forum and making posts, join in the fun in the off topics area, get to 100 posts and become a senior member, only 990 after that to become a veteran...lol
