Default Hi, from Elkhorn, WI

Hi guys, I’m Sam. I’ve always been a Jaguar fan since before I could drive. Mainly the XJ series. I fell in love I believe around the age of 13 with an X308 XJR that my father and I stopped to look at. When the sales guy opened the hood, I knew from there it was a special car.

Fast forward 16 years, I finally picked up a Carnival red X308 XJR from Ohio and drove it back to WI last week. 2003 with 43k miles.

This week I had my PDR guy remove a few door dings and today it is getting a complete detail. I put new Bridgestone Pole positions on it and replaced a seat module. Other than the sagging head liner, the car is nearly immaculate.

Meow.

Hey Sam. You sound like me who got into the marque when I was 13 or 14. I'd go to the library to read automotive books and magazines and the Jaguar stuff was always the most interesting to me.
