Hello from Johannesburg

Hi fellow Jag enthusiasts, I am about to realise a boyhood dream of owning a Jaguar. I take delivery of a 2002 XKR on Friday. So far I only have a photo copied from the dealer's website, but more will follow!

Hi Guys, thanks for the warm welcome. I took delivery of the car yesterday, and have managed to drive over 100 miles already! What a classy ride, loads of power, but my fuel bills are going to quite a bit more than with my Mazda MX5, which is what the Jag replaces.

Welcome.

The Jaguar is the ONLY way to go. Once in the blood, it never leaves, trust me.

Fuel is cheap when compared to what you got.

Enjoy the forum, AND the Jag.
