Just wanted to say Hi

Got my first Jag today, a 1998 XJ8

Am loving it so far, the forum is an excellent resource, Have found answers to all my questions so far

 

Signature updated.

 

Guernsey eh ! Not much chance to open it out I would think.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
Low mileage?

 

Indeed not!! Bought to it for our regular trips off the island, Spain & Scotland four or five times a year, looking forward to getting away in April to Spain.

35 mph speed limit in Guernsey is a bit restrictive! the 0 to 35 time of the Jag is very impressive though

 

Thanks Norri

Low mileage? No 196k !!

Is an ex UK car, runs and drives as it should, very comprehensive full history, Just imported last month, Has MOT untill October, though an MOT is not required here, I still put my cars through the MOT when I am home in Scotland as I like things to be right, I think it will be a good buy.

 

Hello and welcome,

196k miles now and off to Spain in April. That should see you past 200k.

Congrats and enjoy the ride as they say.

Enjoy all the site has to offer!

 

Hello again.

Yup, 0-35 is pretty decent, at least you are not on Sark

 

Aye, Sark is a lovely place but don't think I could handle having no car, plus Jaguar don't make tractors !!

Not yet anyway.

Welcome to the forum and have fun on your Spain trip with the Jaguar. I find that they are made for driving on the lovely open roads in Europe.

 

Just back from latest trip away (2 weeks in Scotland) car now at 201,000 miles and still going as it should, been to France, Spain and Scotland since getting it, easlily the best long distance car I have owned, makes driving 500 miles a day easy :0)

 

You're in a very exclusive club with over 200k miles.

Agreed 500 miles in a day is easy - it's filling the tank twice that hurts!

Sticking to legal speeds was getting around 450 miles to a tank, averaging 26 mpg which was not too bad.

 

That's good for touring with a loaded car.

Graham

 

That's all motorway miles at 70mph, not too bad. was getting 23 mpg average at higher speeds through France and Spain
