Hi! Newbie with a 2005 XKR

Hi
Just jumped in and got myself a 2005 XKR Convertible - so both excited and scared shitless at the same time.
First of all I need to get her inspected and was thinking that it will be best to go to a reputable Jag mechanic to get this done - so if anyone has recommendations for a good one Brooklyn, that would be great.

She runs great and bodywork is in amazing shape, a few minor tlc items I need to take care of and will be coming to y'all for some advice.
Will send pics and all that fun stuff as I get going.

Hello, Lorrie,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar XKR!
Jaguars can be a bit intimidating until you Bond with them, and then they become well-behaved like beloved pets.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
