Hi to the Jaguar Forum veterans, novices, and newbies (and any combination thereof) from beautiful Colorado Springs -- a place I know all who do not live here are envious of those who do!

I'm joining because I have bought an 85 XJ-S and am trying to get it on the road. It's one of those 'cars I've always wanted and now I have it' (and you guys please keep your Kevin Spacey/American Beauty comments to yourself!)

I'm hoping to gather as much knowledge as I can about getting my car off the lift at the mechanic's and on the road as expeditiously as possible. I'll go to the appropriate forum for that and give you a brief bio:

Former US Marine Intel guy, car enthusiast (duh), major Top Gear fan, autodidact. I currently work at US Figure Skating as the software developer/architect on staff.

I'm looking forward to your help, knowledge, camaradarie.

 

Hey, welcome! And thank you for your service!

Yes, beautiful area C Springs is. I frequented the area for a while, a regular customer at Black Forest Soaring Society. Do you know where Conifer and Bailey are??

Best,

 

Welcome,
HOW HARD CAN IT BE ? (Sounds familiar with ? lol )

 

Welcome aboard 85XJ-S, good to have you with us. You will find great help from the guys in the XJS section.

 

Haha, unfortunately I'm starting to feel as if it's exactly one of those projects.

I haven't been to either unless passing through on to other places (but that hasn't been recent). As powered flight was a hobby of mine until a few years ago, I do scratch my head at you soaring types!

 

Howdy 85XJ-S

Welcome to the forum!
