I've been a Jaguar fan since childhood, and I finally stepped up to the plate and bought one yesterday. I'm now the new owner of a 2004 XJR.





Anyway, I thought I'd say hello and say thanks for creating a forum with such useful info.

 

Welcome & Congrats -

I got my first Jag just a month ago, as well -

Cheers,

St. Kid

Welcome to the forum, great looking car there!!!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum,

The car looks great.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Good to have you with us.

Very nice indeed, drool.

 

Thanks again, guys. I'm stupid-excited about it. The dealership had to replace the windshield (small crack in it), so it hasn't even made it home yet. I was hoping for holiday weekend driving, but I'm not complaining.

 

Hey GS, Welcome aboard, great to have you here with us at JF.

Nice Ride you got there!!

Some great guys here, top techs, good info and more than a few laughs here n there, so jump in and enjoy......
enjoy your time here

 

Hi there ! I see you have the lovely light-coloured leather. Mine is too, and it does take some attention to keep it clean, but then, it is so nice !

 

Thanks, Jim. I'm looking forward to getting know everyone.

Yeah, the leather color was as important to me as the exterior color. I'm sure there will be plenty of Saturday afternoons spent trying to keep them clean.

In other news, this damned rainy weather is preventing the windshield repair from being done. I've owned the car for nearly a week, and it's still never seen it's new home. It's supposed to be raining for the next 4 or 5 days...

 

The interior is a great place to be with that lovely light leather, warm and welcoming. Hard to keep clean but well worth it IMO.

BUMMER on the windscreen repair being held up due to bad weather, surely they can do it inside under cover though??

 

You would think so, right? I'm going to call them again tomorrow to see what the deal is. One more weekend without it and I'll be doing the sadface.

 

So, the deal is that tropical storm Lee held up deliveries and they're just off-schedule. I'm told the repair is set for tomorrow, so my fingers are crossed.

 

I am also new to this forum and am a proud owner of a 99 XJR...how did you put pics up of your car? I would like to post mine. Your car is gorgeous by he way..

 

Hello, Brashton. I just saved the photos to Imageshack, then copied the direct link and posted it between img tags. They look like this: [img]link link link link[/img]. You can also click the picture icon (looks like a mountain) and paste the link that way.

Looking forward to seeing your XJR!

 

Well thanks for the help with that General Specific. I get my jag out of the shop tomorrow morning and will give her a bath and take some pics then

 

I,m so jealous. Took a 2007 XJR for a test drive last weekend, little out of my price range but the car I went to look at wasn't available. Limited edition with the machine metal look inside instead of wood. Awesome. maybe in a couple of years.
