Default Hello

I was live in the Sierra Nevada's and it snows in the winter. Needed an AWD vehicle, and Jaguar kept popping up. Subaru's, Honda's were about 15 plus thousand dollars with 100k miles there abouts. I found this 2002 with only 29k miles, I looked at it and was amazed! It was like new everywhere. I drove it home in bad weather, dark curvey wet roads, and wow! That Auto Manual J shift reminded me of my Ford Power Stroke Tow/Haul button for using engine break on downhill and curves. Nice. Hell, I went out to starbucks just for the ride! This is a pleasure to drive.

Welcome to the forum UKnFor-dluv-expat,

I see you've found the X-Type section so no need for a link.

Hope you get the shimmy issue resolved. Annoying in an otherwise good vehicle.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Believe me, I have tried. When I click on my name, says I'm not authorized, but I follow the link from the email, and I can edit, but they do not show up when I finish, even though the data is in the profile edit page

Don't click on your name, click on User CP button at the top left:



Under Your Control Panel, go to Edit Signature:



Enter the details in the dialogue box. Use the Preview button to check then Save changes button.

The Edit Avatar option is above the Edit Signature. You can link to an avatar on the web or load one from your PC.



Note the size limits are 80 x 80 pixels or 19.5KB (whichever is smaller).
