Default Hello from Vancouver Island...

Just placed a deposit on a '97 XJR owned by a local enthusiast... We'll pick her up before the end of the month.

I've been a Jag fan since working as a gas jockey in the early nineties... There was a Vanden Plas that used to come in regularly.

Welcome to the forum.

Where about in Vancouver Island? My fiance and I went there last year, and we made ourselves a promise to go back an stay longer. I can still remember seeing an adult bald eagle perched just 5 feet from us on a railing at Fisgard lighthouse, and watching a pod of whales during the crossing back to Canadian mainland!
