Default Greetings From England

Hi, I'm Owen and this is my 1996 Jaguar XJR-6.



I'm 18 years old, and this is the second car I ever owned. I've only had it for a few weeks, but I've really bonded with it. Won't be my last Jaguar. I get compliments wherever I go, and I rarely walk away from it without taking a picture. The staggeringly awful fuel economy is outweighed by the massive smile on my face whenever I stomp the loud pedal through the floor.

Overall it's pretty tidy, but I'm sure you guys wouldn't mind helping me out when things go bang.

Happy to be here.

Welcome to the forums Owen,

Fuel economy isn't too bad but I wouldn't like your insurance premium.

I can see you've already found your way to the X300 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 use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

You'd be surprised, even with less than a year's experience and no NCB, it just about stays under four figures. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the Forums.

A very impressive 1st car.

My 1st, in 1968 was a 1954 MK VII Jaguar, and that was impressive in those days.

Good luck.
