Hi from north Texas! I just purchased my first Jaguar this past Friday. A 2008 porcelain XJ VDP. Beautiful, inside and out.

It's quite a step up from my little 'ole Ford Ranger pickup truck (which I kept, always need a pickup in Texas).

So far, so good. Love driving it and the classic look. It has just about everything you can think of. I'll post some pictures soon.

 

welcome to the forum Tom, good to have you here.
Nice intro and looking forward to pics......

You might find the off topic good for fun, maybe check out the mug shot thread and add yours?

Some really good guys and great techs, top vendors offering good pricing levels and great service, and more to come....all good

In the meantime I've upgraded you manually to full forum access so you can better view the site

 

Welcome! I sure you will find a lot of good info as things come up in the XJ section. Always nice to have something other then the truck for a nice night out!

Enjoy the forums.

Jim

 

Welcome and I look forward to the pics!

 

Hello Tom and welcome to jaguarforums.com.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

 

It's a nice car, isn't it ? I have had mine 12 months and have put 13k on it, but still only 43k since 2003.

There are one or two issues but generally I am very pleased with mine, and it cost SO LITTLE !! (second hand prices are very good in the UK right now, it must be the cost of petrol here in England - try $9.60 a gallon !!

Tom, welcome to the forum. I love my big XJ beastie. One question. What's your interior color? Porcelain could go with lots of interior colors.

 

Welcome!!

 

Welcome tocaticus. Judging by the number of members here from Texas, a pick and a Jag are starting to be always needed there.

 

Welcome tocaticus! Congrats on your bew ride. Now that Jim has upgraded you to full membership POST UP those pictures!

 

OK, I set up my garage and posted some pictures here:
