Hello
Just wanted to say hello, since I am new to this forum. I have a 2001 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas In silver. It lives in north Texas. I picked it up 3 months ago from a relative and paid 3k for it. It has done 176k miles but the transmission was replaced in it 60k miles ago at the jaguar repair house.
It still looks good even though my cousin (it was his first car at the age of 18) put a dent in nearly every body panel, broke the antenna, and broke the cup holder and the headliner is falling down. Beside that and a tick forum one of the valves it in great shape.
No pictures as of yet to show it though but hope to have some soon.
About me. I am the head mechanic / Manager at a Kwik Kar. I am also in the Texas Army National Guard. Been in for over 5 years now. I have some serious back issues due to a Humvee wreck.
That about it.

Thanks for that though I hope that my being a mechanic doesn't come in to play that much while I own this Jag lol
