Thumbs up Hello from Springfield - Branson, MO area

Greetings,

I have just retired from Kraft Foods sales after 30+ years. During that time I was provided a company vehicle to drive both on and off duty. It is a nice benefit, especially the gas card. Being a car guy it was not real thrilling to jump into a Taurus or similar plain ride day after day as your primary transportation. For my first personal car since my 1978 Corvette I chose a 2006 Jaguar Racing Green XJR. Every time I fire it up it just simply provides a feeling of, well its hard to describe. I knew that the 400hp would provide the speed but was really impressed on how well it handles the frequent curvy roads here in the Ozarks. I am looking forward to being a part of this forum.

welcome 1851! I think I know exactly which XJR you purchased...saw it a few times on the internet (cars.com IIRC). She is a beauty! BTW, love missouri...and the branson/ozark mountain area is absolutely stunning. Went to that state-run trout farm a couple years ago on a vacation, and its amazing how many fishermen were parked just downstream of the 'protected' release waters!
