Greetings. After years and years of dreaming, I finally last month had the thrill of acquiring a 1996 XJ6 Base 4.0, with only 52k original miles on it. Immaculate and a dream to drive. I live on the peninsula in Washington State, west of Seattle. Have loved cars my entire life, and have a Hotwheels collection the size of a small army. Logging in here because I’ve been reading threads here for a few weeks now, and figured I might as well join. Looking forward to making friends and learning more.
Welcome to JF, Hotwheels. Congrats, the Jag looks fantastic. Kingfisher Blue, pretty special on an X300. Coventry Whitleys, always a classy upgrade that finishes the look. Where does the name Chesterton come from?
Good to have you with us. Your XJ looks great and in one of my favourite colours.
I can see you've already found your way to the X300 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Hi Richard - Chesterton’s name is an obscure philosophical joke based on a play on the names of famous comics figures Calvin & Hobbes (both names for famous philosophers who they in no way resembled), and my alternate yet analogous modern pairing of [Bertrand] Russell and [G.K.] Chesterton. So yeah. How’s that for odd?

Ok, trying this again. Been awhile since I used forum tools. Now I’ve got the quote inserted.
