Smile Hello!

Hey everyone,
My name is Jonathan. I'm a new member here and a first time Jag owner. I've had my '02 X-type for about a month now, and I'm in love! I've always loved the style, driving dynamics and sophistication of European cars, but Jaguar takes it to an even higher level than the Saab and VW's I've owned before.
My new baby is British racing green, which is one of my all-time favorite colors on a car, and best of all, it's a 5 speed manual! (personally, I loathe automatic transmissions.) So far, I am very impressed with this forum. I am so thankful that there are several professional Jaguar service technicians on here. Anyways, thanks for being here, and I look forward to many years as a member here.

Welcome to the forum Jonathan,

Good to have you here with us at Jaguar Forums.

A manual X-Type must be a rarity in the US.

Follow this link X-Type - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info 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 US Mid West Region forum by following this link Mid West US - IL IN IA MI MN MO OH WI - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hi Jonathan:
Welcome to the forum and greetings from a fellow Midwesterner! Congrats on the new car. Sounds like you found a nice one! I hear you on the choice of transmission… Personally, I love the stick shift. But since I'm also usually drinking coffee or swatting at kids in the back seat , I have found the auto to be helpful. Enjoy the forum and welcome to the club!

Cheers,
Scott
