Hi colleagues, I have just bought my Jag No. 7 - this time a XJ8 from 1998 with about 100000 kilometers on the clock.

I have been a regular reader here and love the quality of the posts, pictures etc. Unfortunately my knowledge of the english language needs some update - my time in school ended more than 30 years ago. Hopefully my english teacher does not read or post here. I understand nearly everything, but writing is critical...

My personal background: I live in Cologne and I`m an officer of the german armed forces. Related to my cars, my second longtime-love are aircooled Porsche 911, which I own since nearly 20 years.

Hallo Bernd,

willkommen im Forum und Grüße aus der Nachbarschaft! Denn ich wohne in Wesseling, sozusagen einen Katzensprung entfernt

Vielleicht laufen oder fahren wir uns mal über den Weg. Bist Du in einem Club organisiert?

 

Welcome to the Forum Bernd! You're English isn't too bad, probably better than my German....

But if we are going to speak German, then please only in the Europe subsection

I've started a thread here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/e...%E4nder-84122/

Hello, thx for the warm welcome! Interesting to discover enthusiasts even from my direct neighbourhood here (special greetings to Wesseling;-)).

I actually hope not only to consume, but from time to time even to add some of my experiences with my different previous Jag-models (one XJ12 series 3, two XJ40, two X300 and now the second X308). In fact, I just recognize that my new X 308 is already number 7 in total.

As requested, I try to post two pictures of my cars (by the way: my daily winter-driver is additionally a black Volkswagen Golf). The Jag still has the license plate of my predecessor; it will probably be registered in Cologne after winter in spring 2013 (license plates here start with a "K" for "Köln", the german expression for "Cologne"), although I love the cosy athmosphere of the Jag especially during the bad weather period. The picture of my 911 was made close to the "Nürburgring", the famous race track about 70km to the west from Cologne called "green hell". If anyone will visit this area and needs some information, please to not hesitate to contact me.
