Default Hi from sunny Orlando, FL!!

Hi fellow Jag enthusiasts!

I am the new owner of a '98 Jag XJ8, first Jag I've ever owned. Got a steal at $400, but previous owner had busted the radiator and ran it as such till she died (not seized). It's really a project for me (thank the big man I'm mechanically inclined) and I am here to see what awesome advise and pointers I can get!

Looking forward to meeting many of you,

Ramon

Welcome to the forums. Beautiful car, that was the first Jaguar I ever saw and what lead me to buy one finally. My friend bought one back around 2000 and we went to lunch in it several times. His was green though but no matter.

Back in the nineties I spent some time in Orlando at the airport getting my A&P license. Nice place to live.

Thanks for the friendly welcome to the forum LnrB and rhomanski!

Glad to see avid and resourceful Jag owners here, I feel like I've found the right forum here. I'm looking forward for solid input from this forum's great members as I work to bring my Jag back to life.

My father had owned a 1990 XJS V12 quite a few years ago and it was one of the most interesting cars I've ever seen and been in. That's when the itch started (to have a Jag of my own).

Btw rhomanski, let me know when you're in town again, I could use a hand or two! LOL

Welcome to the Forums.

At $400, you have done well, even with the overheat.
