Hello everyone,

I crashed my 15 yr old Infiniti last month (yes I do keep cars that long) , after a couple of weeks, Dh decided on getting a Jag (I wanted Volvo XC70).
Last week we picked up our kitty cat, an '04 XJR. I couldn't be more happier! She is gorgeous and has all the right toys, nav, dvd etc.

Here she is!!


my son's favorite part


The kitty cat joined these two:

 

Welcome to forum, loads on info to answer all your questions.
Is that a Willis behind the Land Rover?
Jeff

 

Thanks Jeff! That's a 1951 Austin Champ, it has a huge Rolce Royce engine in it. That little thing weighs 3 tons. That's my husbands baby.

 

That is one nice Jag... and the Austin Champ looks like a fun ride as well!!! Welcome to the site, you will find many helpful people and tons of information. Enjoy!

 

That's a lovely cat you have there. Welcome.

 

welcome aboard msjam grrrreat lookin ride you got there!
+1 on the other welcomes, great to have you with us
Upgraded to FFA so you can enjoy the whole site

 

Great Car!! I was working at the Jag Dealer in Fort Worth when we got the first 04XJ with DVD and rear entertainment package. My buddy had a DVD of alien vs predator and we sat in the rear seat for lunch hour (and then some) watching the front seat headrests!!! We had to hook up the battery charger and then we finished the PDI.

Welcome neighbor. Sweet ride. Not sure who "Dh" is that hindered you from getting the XC70 ("Dumb husband" would be my guess from the context) but you'll surely thank him soon if you haven't already. Just pull up the best pic you can find of the Volvo and put it alongside that XJR....nuff said!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I thought DH stands for dear husband, but dumb husband will work just as well.

Dh definitely was SO against volvo, he said it's a box with no personality.

This car is just sooo awesome, it definitely turns heads, (well I get that a lot too with the Infiniti, although for the wrong reason, like get that pos away from my car look) ha ha.

 

Welcome,
Rolls Royce engine in an Austin ? LOL I could have never imagined that

Enjoy your stay and your rides

 

Welcome fellow DFWian lol, with all the new people We will have to get a larger meeting place

 

msjam - Welcome! My wife is from Dallas, so I'm a Texan by marrriage. Here's her jag's backside:



It's a 2005 XJ8L she picked up in Houston and drove to Seattle with a girlfriend. Said that 11 hours of driving in this car is like spending an afternoon on the couch. I agree - it's the most comfortable road car I've ever riden in. You'll love it!!

All the best -

 

Larry, my husband had that exact same color, he had a 99' xj8. So far, I am loving to the point of obssessed about this kitty cat.

Thanks again everyone, what a friendly bunch you are all here!

 

hey, as a kind gesture, give me a honk as you pass me on the freeway, ok? I can't keep up with the 'R's.

 

Welcome msjam;

Your husband has got to be one popular figure right now after saving you from a life of vanilla with a Volvo - As for the Austin with a RR engine, that's got to be worth a few pictures of its own.

 

Happy to oblige, although these are not the greatest pics but these are the only ones that I have in my photobucket .. I can take better pics later if ya all want me to...

 

What a car ! Those TVs in the headrests !

I remember the Austin Champ from my schooldays, when I was in the Army Cadets. On Summer Camp the Army sometimes let the officers, (our schoolteachers), have one for the fortnight. Main thing I remember was the loud hum off the tyres.

 

Very cool; obviously nothing fazes the dog!

 

Wow - is that a real .303 cal Bren gun?

Nice to see another dog person on the board! BTW - is the dog allowed to ride in the Jag?

 

Hi Bob,

Yes that is a real Bren gun, that thing is heavy! Unfortunately, my dog died from cancer last year, one day shy of his 9th birthday. He was allowed in my husbands 99 Jag, he was a very spoiled dog.

Thanks everyone!!
