Default Hi! Love what you've done with the place ;)

Last Thursday I was given a 99 XJ8 by my father. Long story short, 2 years ago it had trouble starting then would not start at all. Father decided it was time for a new car anyway so he parked it. He is moving and said I could have the car, sell it, push it off a cliff, whatever I wanted so long as I got it off the property. Its been an adventure getting it fixed back up but i'm looking forward to driving it.

More on that project: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...01/#post679028

Currently I drive a Camaro and an Xterra. I have the sports car and the off-road camping SUV but I needed a more business friendly car to fit my job. I love working on cars. Its such a rewarding feeling. Love music too so all my vehicles get upgraded stereo's, speakers and big subs. I like to feel my music .

I'm also an avid shooter of all types of firearms although I do not hunt. I do a fair amount of competition shooting. Gunsmithing is another big hobby of mine. I build a lot of my own rifles and pistols and make my own ammo. Majority of my hobby budget money goes into firearm related stuff.

So thats me in a nutshell. Looking forward to being a part of this great forum.

Welcome to the forum Bug Splat,

Great Intro.

I see you've already found your way to the X308 tech section so no need for a link. Don't envy you the job of fixing the rats work!

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
