Default Hi from a 'not so new boy'

Hi All.

Just morphed over from the JagForum site and joined here too.
Jim C64 told me about this site (what a fool!) and so I had to join.

I'm 400 miles south of Jim, near London in the U.K.

Hope to contribute with my own brand of ever-increasingly strange sense of humour and the odd tip thrown in for good measure.

I've been the proud owner of many Jaguar marques over the years, hence why I'm always broke
I'll put a few shots of my little beastie when I bribe Jim to get my image posting rights

Please feel free to help, ask or just ridicule me whenever you wish.

Cheers All.

Hmm - that's odd.
As I already use another forum, I know the ropes and entered some personal details and signature straight away.....
I'll do again if it's gone west - thanks for the reminder Norri.

OK - let's see if the photo upload works in a similar fashion....

Hold onto something - this may go 'bang'.

Thank you to all my new mates on this forum for the welcome messages.

I hope I'll be worthy of your greeting

By the way Grant, if that's you in your avatar, we really must meet up some time

It looks like my photo upload didn't go too well for some reason?
I think I'll go and tie JimC64 down and tickle him with some wet Rhubarb until he educates me on the finer points...

My avatar is also pretty poor and doesn't allow a decent quality image. I assure you that my 'Beautiful Blue' looks much nicer than the avatar!!

Great to hear from so many Aussies too, always good to get a wide range of experiences - especially those who 'tell it like it is'

Thanks again.

Phil,

Try using a SigPic for your XJ6 photo instead of having it as an avatar. You will see a better image.

Hi Graham.

If only I knew what you just said I could thank you for it

What is this magic cure?

Phil.

Hey Phil,
look at Graham's post and see his car which is within his signature, can you see it?


You can include a relatively small ( but larger than avatar size ) pic there for the world to see.
Cheers Phil
Jim

Hey Grant.

Having owned the V12 XJ-S for a while, it wasn't a sense of humour I needed, it was the patience of a clam.

Fast and drop-dead gorgeous, but what a P.I.A.

So tight in that engine bay - so much engine

See ya.

Phil.
