Default Hello from Wisconsin

Hey there, new member, I have owned 16 Jags over the last 12 years. I live in central WI, married 33 years (and she still likes me), 2 boys, 3 dogs, currently the fleet consists of 10-1996 XJ12's and a 2007 XKR.

No I'm not flushed with money, if it were not for sites like this one I would not have a chance or the pocket book to keep the above in running order. Fortunately I have a Zen attitude which comes in handy with the Jags as well as the wolf.

I have belonged to a few sites in the past but due to periods of inactivity I generally get booted so we'll see how this goes. I have however noticed that this is by far the most civil Jag site I have visited over the years.

Just added to the collection a 2007 XKR coupe with 19,000 miles in Winter Gold. WOW, boy does my right foot have allot of growing up to do. I have owned a couple 442's a Z28 and Trans Am in the past so I am used to a little giddy up but the power of the 4.2 is so smooth that you don't realize how quick it is until you take your eyes off the tach and glance at the speedo.

Pulling fuse 19 is an awesome idea, might be a little much for a convertible but for a coupe it's perfect.

I look forward meeting people with the same passion for jags that I have. I hope I am able to contribute with my experiences.

Welcome to the forum 1 of 19,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

There can't be many X305's you don't own!

Follow this link XJ ( X305 ) XJ12 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the X305 forum for advice, information and to post your own input. The XJ X300 / XJR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum is likely to be of interest as the two models share many components.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues. Follow this link XK / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK/XKR forum for the coupe.

You can also visit the USA Mid West Region forum by following this link USA Mid West - IL IN IA MI MN MO OH WI - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Hello,
A 'grown up right foot' is overrated not to mention Boring!
So, you're a Jag collector. We should be the ones picking your brain instead of the other way round! LOL
We like to read about how civilized we are too. Everyone works very hard at that.

Welcome from ElinorB.
