Default Greetings from the not_frozen North

Hello, all. We have recently relocated to the Twin Cities area after retiring from Big Tech in Idaho. I've owned all sorts of interesting (in both good and bad ways) European cars over the years, from a rusted out 1963 Volvo 544 at the beginning to a 2006 Volvo S60R most recently, with lots of VWs, Saabs, BMWs and an Audi in between. Just today I purchased my first Jag, a celestial black on charcoal 2008 XKR Portfolio coupe with 48,000 miles. I have not actualy seen it yet; it's being shipped from the east coast. I suspect it will be the most interesting car I've ever owned, and in a good way, with your accumulated wisdom to help!
